Current FlowConventional current assumes that current flows out of the positive side of the battery, through the circuit, and back to the negative side of the battery. This was the convention established when electricity was first discovered, but it is incorrect!
Electron flow is what actually happens. The electrons flow out of the negative side of the battery, through the circuit, and back to the positive side of the battery.

VoltageThe force (pressure) that causes current to flow
When the faucet (switch) is off, is there any pressure (voltage)? YES—Pressure (voltage) is pushing against the pipe, tank, and the faucet. When the faucet (switch) is on, is there any pressure (voltage)? YES—Pressure (voltage) pushes flow (current) through the system.

Circuit Configuration
Series Circuits• Components are
connected end-to-end.• There is only a single
path for current to flow.
Parallel Circuits• Both ends of the components
are connected together.• There are multiple paths for
current to flow.
Components (i.e., resistors, batteries, capacitors, etc.)
Components in a circuit can be connected in one of two ways.
