Series Circuit Parallel Circuit(only one pathway for current to flow) (a circuit splits- the current can flow on
two or more pathways)Components in a series circuit “share” the electric energy.
D-cells in series must be oriented in the same direction.
A single D-cell can run many components when components are
connected in parallel.
This kind of low-resistance conductor that bypasses a component is
“SHORT CIRCUIT”the result is a very large current flow and the wires can get hot enough to
start a fire.
