EXPLAIN
Let’s talk about series and parallel
connections and how electrical
appliances work at home.
What do you think is an electric circuit? An electric circuit is a complete and

closed path for an electric current.
Correct. There are four components of

are voltage supplier, conducting wires,
a switch, and an electrical appliance.

A series circuit.
What do you call this connection?

What do you think will happen if we
