|
In a series circuit, if one appliance stops working, what will happen to the other appliances in the same circuit? Draw and label a series circuit.
|
They will stop working because they share the same path to the voltage source.
|
|
In a parallel circuit, if one appliance stops working, what will happen to the other appliances in the same circuit? Draw and label a parallel circuit.
|
The other items will still work because each has its own path to the voltage source.
|
|
