Series and Parallel Circuits

Charged Up

Electromagnets

The difference between a parallel and series circuit is that the series circuit has two bulbs that are in series which means one after the other.

The parallel circuit is different because the bulbs are on two different lines and the electricity flows on both lines. If you switch one line off the other one stays on.

In the series circuit the electricity flows on the same line and if you switch it off it all turns off.
