Series and Parallel Circuits

Build an understanding of electrical circuits in series and parallel. The video instructor demonstrates the effects of manipulating both a series and parallel circuit. Learners realize the difference between the types of circuits as well...

Parallel circuits often provide less of a challenge for teens than parallel parking. An installment of a series on parallel electric circuits requires learners to solve increasingly difficult  levels of calculations. Each level...

Measure current through resistances in series-parallel circuits requires current-measuring skills used in both series and parallel circuits.

Measuring voltage drops across resistances in series-parallel circuits requires an understanding of both series and parallel circuit behavior. Learn more with this tutorial.

Use the formula for the parallel resistors to calculate the total resistance in series-parallel circuits.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this module, students learn what a parallel circuit is and how it differs from a series circuit.

Seven circuits are spread over three pages. One is a parallel circuit, one is a series circuit, and the rest are combinations. Emergent electrical engineers solve for current, voltage, or resistance. They fill in a chart for each...

I think I lost an electron. Are you sure? Yes, I'm positive! Starting with a hands-on demonstration and problem solving activity, young scientists define vocabulary related to circuitry and currents. Then they build their own circuits...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Presents methods for solving electrical circuit problems where there is a combination of series and parallel circuit features.

Electricians draw four different circuits and answer questions about the resistance, voltage drop, and current at different points in each. Completing this learning exercise will help make sure that your class is understanding what is...
