Two lamps connected in series with an open switch and a cell The circuit diagram shows a circuit with two lamps connected in series. If one lamp breaks, the other lamp will not light. The current is ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

Voltage is a measure of the difference in energy between one part of a circuit and another. It tells you how much electrical energy has been converted into other forms of energy. Voltage is measured ...

Series and Parallel Circuit Series and parallel circuits are two fundamental configurations in electrical circuits, each with distinct characteristics that affect how electricity flows through them.
