• Series circuits ensure equal current flow through all
components - results in equal brightness in bulbs.
• Bulbs connected in parallel don't shine as brightly due
to equal branching of current.

• Current = the directed flow of electrons through a and parallel (OR logic)
circuit.
• 'AND' configuration - switches connected in series.
• Electrons = negatively charged particles.
• 'OR' configuration - switches connected in parallel.
• Current flows from positive to negative in a
conventional circuit.
• Electrical energy is carried by moving electrons.
• Electrons in DC move in one direction.
• Electrons in AC move in one direction and back in the
opposite direction.
