Series and Parallel Circuits

Demonstrates the relationships between resistance, current, and electromotive force in series circuits and in parallel circuits by computing the resistance of a toaster and a lamp, and the amperage of a soldering iron. Demonstrates the advantages and disadvantages of both types of circuits. Describes a simple series-parallel combination and presents examples., Describes the two basic circuits; series and parallel. States that in a series circuit all the current flows through each appliance, while in a parallel circuit the current branches off and only part of the current flows through each appliance. Indicates how fuses are used as safety devices., Describes the two basic circuits; series and parallel.
