current circuits
Circuit one
hello readers, today in Bio we were asked to make a circuit and this is Amanda and I's one. In this circuit, there is a battery and the battery makes the power, there are some wires and that help the power to travel to the lightbulb and there's a light bulb and the light bulb makes the light. if you don't know what current and voltage is then ill tell you so current is how quickly electrons move and voltage is how much electrons is in the circuit.
Circuit two
Here is a series circuit. in series, all components (parts) of a circuit are in one loop. the difference between these two circuits I that this one has two light bulbs instead of one.
Circuit three
This is a parallel. in parallel components are in different branches( paths). this circuit is different from the other two circuits is that there on two separate onto two different paths and so they don't have to share the power but with the series, circuit has to share the power with the other light bulb.
