Huruamnu 5: Circuits and Electricity

d Series Circuit:

1. How many apms in the circuit? 5 amps
2. How many amps at A1 and A2? 5 amps
3.  How many amps in 1,2,3,4? 5 amps

Parallel Circuits:

1. A1 and A2 contain two amps
2. A1 has 1.5 amps A2 has 1.5.
3. A1 has 12 amps, A2  has 3 apms and A3 has also 3 amps. 

In a series cicuit, there is only one path for the current to take. The diagram above shows a battery (consisting of 2 cells) connectesd to two bulbs wired in sereis. If one of the bulbs in the cicuit (blows), then the cicuit will be open and current will stop flowing.

In a parallel cicuit, the current has more thann one way of moving around the cicuit. If one of the bulbs fails (blows), the other one will still have a current through it and will still glow.
