Electrical Circuits
series circuit – the current has only one path; when one part of the circuit is broken, nothing will work
ex) cheap Christmas lights
Series Circuit
Electrical Circuits
parallel circuit – the current has separate branches to move through; when one part of the circuit is broken, the rest still works
ex) household wiring
Parallel Circuit
Household Circuits
In your home, parallel circuits branch out from the breaker box to the wall sockets.Each branch receives a standard 120 volts from the electric company.
Fuses
A fuse contains a small piece of metal that melts when it overheats.
