Series Circuits
  • Lesson 8

2
Series Circuits
  • Some circuits provide a single pathway for
    electric current. A circuit that provides only
    one pathway for electric current is called a
    series circuit.
  • In a series circuit, the loads and sources are
    connected in a single loop.

  • Look at the diagram to the right. If you open the
    switch, how many bulbs will turn off?
  • They will all turn off

4
  • Use the correct symbols to draw a diagram of a
    series circuit that has three batteries, two
    bulbs, and one switch
  • What will happen if one bulb burns out?
  • The circuit will be open and all of the lights
    will go out.

5
  • Remember that current only flows in a closed
    circuit. If you open a series circuit at any
    point, the flow of current stops everywhere in
    the circuit.

Lab Adding loads in a series circuit
  • Many flashlights, toys and tools are designed
    with series circuits. What happens when you add
    loads to a series circuit?
