Module 6.3 Practical Circuits	By Rahma Abdelgadir Class 9B
What are the 2 main types of circuit usually found in homes?	1. Series Circuit 2. Parallel Circuits Image: Series Parallel Circuit (binary/octet-stream)
What is a series circuit?	A circuit with all its components arranged in a line thus forming a single loop. Image: Unknown (binary/octet-stream)
Fact about series circuits	Series circuits are the easiest of all circuits to connect together.
What components does a series circuit have? Image: Unknown (binary/octet-stream)	Components within a series circuit have the same current flowing through them. Although split the voltage between them.
Why are series circuits not very practical?	-The globes cannot be controlled individually with a switch -Current stops flowing around them if a globe 'blows'. -Adding more globes to the circuit makes them duller than before.
What is a parallel circuit?	A circuit that has a number of branches each with its own components. Image: Unknown 1 (binary/octet-stream)
What does a typical parallel circuit look like?	Image: Unknown 2 (binary/octet-stream)
