-SERIES AND PARALLEL CIRCUITS-

*Physics*

Series Circuits

• The same current passes through all its components.

• The total resistance in a series circuit is the sum of the component resistances.

• If one bulb is broken, none of them will work..

Parallel Circuits

• Elements are connected separately.• If you remove one light, the others will work

normally. • Voltage is the same across each element.
