Circuit Fundamentals: Series and Parallel
Series vs. Parallel Circuits
- Series Circuit: Resistors are connected without a junction; only one path for current flow.
- Parallel Circuit: Resistors are connected with at least one junction; multiple paths for current flow.
Key Concepts
- Current: Flows through the circuit driven by voltage.
- Voltage: Forces electrons through the circuit.
- Voltage Drop: Voltage consumed by a resistor in the circuit.
