ppefmhEdGarstin2/4The diagram below shows a simple series circuit.
  • In a series circuit there are no branches. Electric current has to flow through every component.
  • In a series circuit there are branches. Electric current has to flow through every component.
  • In a series circuit there are no branches. Electric current does not have to flow through every component.
  • In a series circuit there are half branches. Electric current does not have to flow through every component.
  • An electrical current in a circuit is a flow of electrons from the negative pole of the cell to the positive pole of the cell.
  • An electrical current in a circuit is a flow of electrons from the positive pole of the cell to the negative pole of the cell.
  • The electrons in an electric current are carrying energy. The filament lamp transfers some of this energy into thermal (heat) energy and light.
  • The electrons in an electric current are carrying no energy. The filament lamp transfers none of this energy into thermal (heat) energy and light.
  • The electrons in an electric current are creating energy. The filament lamp transfers some of this energy into thermal (heat) energy and light.
  • The electrons in an electric current are carrying energy. The filament lamp transfers some of this energy into elastic potential energy and thermal energy.
