Parallel and Series Circuits
There are three different kinds of circuits: Series, Parallel & Compound. Firstly series, a series circuit is when all the components are in a series to each other. For example,
In a series circuit the voltage is shared between everything in the circuit. Foe example if you made a two bulb series circuit then each bulb would be using approximately just under 6 volts, the amperage in the circuit stays the same and the resistance increases
Parallel Circuits
A parallel circuit consists of a battery input and the output that goes directly to the earth, a parallel circuit is when all of the component are in a parallel form. For example a three bulb circuit,
Compound circuit
A compound circuit is when there are bulbs in parallel and series, for example if you where to make a compound circuit with two bulbs in parallel and two bulbs in series it would look something like this. E.g.
