Series and Parallel Circuit Series and parallel circuits are two fundamental configurations in electrical circuits, each with distinct characteristics that affect how electricity flows through them.

So we use parallel circuits for power and (generally) series circuits for control. In some cases, control circuits use a parallel configuration. Consider the common example of wiring up a three-way ...

However, this is a great time to look at the difference between series and parallel circuits. A Simple Circuit Just about the simplest circuit you can create uses just one battery and one light bulb.
