Quick Review
The electrons that move to make electricity come mostly from the wires in
the circuit, not the battery.
Metals are conductors because their electrons
can move.

Introduction
There are two network configurations – series and parallel.
Last class we covered a series network. In this lesson we will cover the parallel circuit
and all the methods and laws associated with it.

Do You Remember?
What did we say was the biggest DISADVANTAGE of using a series circuit?

Branching Out
Parallel circuits have independent paths.We call these independent paths “branches”.

Parallel Circuit Advantage
In a parallel circuit, each device operates independent of the other devices.
A break in any one path does not interrupt the flow of charge in the other paths.

Which one?
Which switch, if opened, will cause
the light bulb to stop glowing?
Why?

Which circuit is built so that if one light bulb goes out, the other three light bulbs will continue to glow?

Voltage in Parallel Circuits
The batteries are typically in series with one another.The total voltage therefore is found by adding up each
individual battery.The total voltage going across each branch is the same.

That was Easy…
Now here’s is where things start to change from a series circuit
The total current divides among the parallel branches
Huh? Remember Ohm’s Law?

Comparing and Contrasting Series vs
ParallelIf they’re all in a row (series), you just add them
up and go!
If they have a different road (parallel), take the time to break the code.

Resistance in Parallel Circuits
From the battery’s perspective, the overall resistance of the circuit is decreased.
This means the overall resistance of the circuit is less than the resistance of any one of the branches.

more lamps are added in parallel to the circuit?

think!What happens to the light intensity of each lamp in a parallel circuit when more lamps are added in parallel to the circuit?
Answer:
The light intensity for each lamp is unchanged as other lamps are introduced (or removed). Although changes of resistance and current occur for the circuit as a whole, no changes occur in any individual branch in the circuit.

Circuit Overload
To prevent overloading in
circuits, fuses or circuit breakers are connected in series
along the supply line.

Brain Break-FusesWhen you blow a fuse, what does that
mean?Electricity through a circuit causes heat.Fuses melt (or break) when too much
current passes through it; they must be replaced.
This protects expensive electronic equipment.

Circuit Breakers
Circuit Breakers protect against too much current like fuses, but can be reset.
