Series and Parallel Circuits | Electricity | Physics | FuseSchool

There are two main types of electrical circuit: series and parallel.

In a series circuit the components are connected end-to-end, one after the other.They make a simple loop for the current to flow round.

In a parallel circuit the components are connected side by side, so the current divides, some going one way and the rest the other way.

Watch this video to see the examples.
