Advantages and Disadvantages of Series and Parallel Circuits
Parallel Circuit Series Circuit Two or more pathways Current splits, passes through pathways, and adds up again Voltage across each pathway equals supply voltage One pathway (circuit) Current (flow of electric charge) same anywhere in the circuit Voltage (measure of strength of electrical power) shared in ratio to resistance
Parallel Circuit Series Circuit Resistance (reduction of electrical current) adds up, draws less current = battery (power source) lasts longer Total resistance less than the least resistance, current drawn is less = battery life short
Parallel Circuit Series Circuit One bulb (load) fuses, circuit incomplete (open or broken) Brightness of bulbs less because P = IV One bulb fuses, the others will still work Brightness of bulbs more P (Power), I (Current), V (Voltage)
Similarities Converts electrical energy to light, heat, sound, etc.
