Series Circuits
a series circuit goes through every component in the circuit.All of the components in a series connection carry the same current,There is only one path in a series circuit in which the current can flow.
If one of the items in the circuit is broken then no charge will move through the circuit because there is only one path.
Series Formulas:
The sum of the potential drops equals the potential rise of the source.
The current is the same everywhere in the series circuit.
The total resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances.
(Or it called effective resistance).
Parallel Circuits
A closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit.
Charges can move through any of several paths. If one of the items in the circuit is broken then no charge will move through that path, but other paths will continue to have charges flow through them. Parallel circuits are found in most household electrical wiring.
Parallel Formulas:
Current
is a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in a plasma.
Alternating current (AC)
AC is the form in which electric power is delivered to businesses and residences.
Direct current (DC)
is produced by sources such as batteries, thermocouples, solar cells, and commutator-type electric machines of the dynamo type. Direct current may flow in a conductor such as a wire, but can also flow through semiconductors, insulators, or even through a vacuum as in electron or ion beams. The electric current flows in a constant direction, distinguishing it from alternating current (AC).
Voltage divider
The result of distributing the input voltage among the components of the divider. A simple example of a voltage divider is two resistors connected in series, with the input voltage applied across the resistor pair and the output voltage emerging from the connection between them.
