Two basic types of circuits are:
Would you like a more detailed explanation of either of these?
- Series Circuit: In a series circuit, all the components (like resistors, bulbs, etc.) are connected end-to-end in a single path. This means the current flows through one component, then the next, and so on. If one component fails (like a bulb burning out), the entire circuit stops working because the current can't flow through the broken path.
- Parallel Circuit: In a parallel circuit, the components are connected in multiple paths. Each component has its own direct path to the power source. If one component fails, the others can still function because their individual paths remain intact. This is the type of circuit commonly used in home electrical systems.
