  1. Series and Parallel Circuits By: Kris Kendrick

  2. What is a Circuit • A circuit is an electrical device that provides a path for electrical currents to flow. • A path in a circuit is sometimes called a branch.

  3. Series Circuits • A series circuit is an electric circuit that has only one path for currents to flow. • The current in a series circuit is the same at all points in the circuit.

  4. Parallel Circuits • A parallel circuit is an electric circuit with more than one path or branch. • The current given off by the battery in a parallel circuit splits at one or more branch points.

  5. Breaks In Circuits • If there is a break in the circuit the current will stop to flow.

  9. References • I only used my text book for a reference.
