Circuit Diagrams

Circuits make electric current useful.

Series circuit

A circuit in which current follows a single path. Each device that is wired in a series circuit shares a path to and from the voltage source.

Circuits make electric current useful.

Parallel circuit

A circuit in which current follows more than one path. Each device that is wired in a parallel circuit has its own path to and from the voltage source.

1. Which circuit(s) are series?

2. Which circuit(s) are parallel?

3. Which circuit(s) have switches?

4. In which circuit(s) would the lights not be lit? Explain
