Key Notes: What is a parallel and series circuit? (Using cornell notes) Series circuits go in a loop one after the other. Current (Amps) is the charge of electrons flowing per second "the flow of electrons" In a parallel circuits, the current will split (e.g. 2 paths will have 50% current each). But potential difference will be kept the same. Summary: Notes: A circuit diagram showing an open switch, a cell, and two lamps in series: 3v 10 A 3v Fo H10A In a series the current Tov (amps) is the 10A 10'A or same everywhere In a series circuit, the voltage is "shared" equally Between components. A circuit diagram showing a closed switch, a cell, two lamps in parallel. 10 A 6v In this lesson, we evaluated the differences between a parallel and series circuit. The main difference is that in a series circuit the current will continue in a loop whereas in a parallel circuit the current splits. This affects the voltage and amps (e.g. in the parallel circuit diagram the voltage is the same opposed to the voltage in a series circuit).
