Series Circuit
• There is only one path for the current to travel.
• bulbs connected in series; when one goes out, they all go out.

• As you add more bulbs, the brightness of the bulbs decreases. (voltage is affected)
• Adding more bulbs increases the resistance thereby decreasing the total current in the circuit.

• As you add more bulbs, the brightness is unaffected. (voltage is unaffected)
• Resistance does not increase.
• No current is created or destroyed only split up.

Series vs. Parallel Circuits
• Flashlight: the cells (batteries) are connected in series. By connecting them in series, higher voltage and therefore a larger current, resulting in a brighter light.
• If the cells were connected in parallel, the light would be much dimmer, but the battery would last longer
• Lighthouse: cells are connected in parallel and therefore have a much longer lifespan, reducing maintenance. Important for circuits in remote locations.

Incandescent lighting vs Fluorescent lighting
• An incandescent lightbulb left on for 10h/week uses 7 kw-h of energy to supply 0.4 kw-h of light. A compact fluorescent bulb uses 2 kw-h in the same amount of time to supply the same amount of light. Calculate the efficiency of each type of lighting.
![Page 27: Electricity Notes 3 - Mrs. Greenemrs-greene.weebly.com/.../5/38755501/electricity_notes_3.pdfElectricity Notes 3 Objectives Series Circuit •There is only one path for the current](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062610/6124f646165df61808113ba3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Answer
• Incandescent:
0.4 kw-h / 7.0 kw-h x 100 = 6% Efficiency
• Fluorescent:
0.4 kw-h / 2.0 kw-h x 100 = 20% Efficiency
