5 Remember, a Series Circuit Complete, Closed Circuit Single Path from +V to GND The same current is flowing in both resistors Yes, there is only one path for the current and it is the same at all points ion the circuit + GND SERIES CIRCUIT Page 5 Current Copyright 2017

6 Parallel Circuits Complete, Closed Circuit Multiple Paths from +V to GND Is the same current flowing in all paths? + GND Current 1 Current 2 No, there are multiple paths, so there is multiple currents. Each path can have different Current. PARALLEL CIRCUIT Page 6 Copyright 2017

7 Parallel Circuits A C Is the Voltage across A B the same as across C D? in all paths? + GND Current 1 Current 2 Yes, electrically, A C are the same point. B D are too Right? B PARALLEL CIRCUIT Page 7 D Copyright 2017

8 Parallel Circuits A C If R1 R2 were both 1KΩ then you really have two 1KΩ resistors as loads drawing current from the same power supply + GND R 1 R 2 Current 1 Current 2 If 2x the current is flowing, then what does that mean for the equivalent resistance?
