What is a Circuit? • Electrical devices connected such that a pathway is created for the flow of electrical current.
Parallel Circuits • A Parallel Circuit has more than one path for electron flow. - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Parallel Circuits • Voltage is equal in each arm of the circuit • Current is shared between arms • Lights bulbs progressively get dimmer - - - - - - - - - - - - -
