Measuring electric current in series and parallel circuits A device called an ammeter is used to measure current. Some types of ammeter have a pointer on a dial, but most modern ammeters have a ...

In circuits connected in parallel, the components are connected on different branches. Find out more with BBC Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

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.

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.

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.

The functions of basic electronic components are revealed through a series of experiments as students figure out how to create circuits that light up LEDS, sound buzzers, use resistors to dim lights, ...
