Parallel circuits
2 likes430 views
This document discusses parallel and series circuits. It defines parallel lines and parallel versus series circuits. A parallel circuit has multiple branches where current can split, whereas a series circuit has components connected one after the other with only one path for current. The document notes that in a parallel circuit, a single burned out bulb only affects itself, not the whole circuit. It then asks the reader to draw circuit diagrams for various parallel and series circuit examples.
Parallel circuits
- 2. PARALLEL LINES • Two lines on a plane that never meet. They are always the same distance apart from each other

- 5. SHORT CIRCUITS • Every loop back to the battery needs a component or it is a short circuit • Trace the loops with your finger to make sure your set-up is correct
- 9. WRAP-UP
- 10. WHAT ARE PARALLEL CIRCUITS USED FOR? • Burned out Bulb only affects itself • Make brighter light bulbs • Make the LED light • Batteries in Parallel create a longer lasting battery pack
- 11. DRAW A CIRCUIT DIAGRAM • Circuit with 2 light bulbs in series
- 12. DRAW A CIRCUIT DIAGRAM • Circuit with 2 light bulbs in series • Circuit with 2 light bulbs in parallel
- 13. DRAW A CIRCUIT DIAGRAM • Circuit with 2 light bulbs in series • Circuit with 2 light bulbs in parallel • Circuit with 3 LED’s in parallel put in series with a switch
- 14. DRAW A CIRCUIT DIAGRAM • Circuit with 2 light bulbs in series • Circuit with 2 light bulbs in parallel • Circuit with 3 LED’s in parallel put in series with a switch • Circuit with 1 buzzer and 1 LED in parallel put in series with a switch
- 15. DRAW A CIRCUIT DIAGRAM • Circuit with 2 light bulbs in series • Circuit with 2 light bulbs in parallel • Circuit with 3 LED’s in parallel put in series with a switch • Circuit with 1 buzzer and 1 LED in parallel put in series with a switch • Circuit with 3 rows in parallel. One row has 2 light bulbs in series. One row has a resistor and an LED. One row has a buzzer.
