​Series Circuits

• ​In a series circuit, there is only one path for electricity to travel.

• ​If one part of the circuit stops working (the load, the wires, or the power source) the entire circuit stops working.

​Parallel Circuit

• ​In a parallel circuit, there is more than one pathway for electricity to flow.

• ​If one part of the parallel circuit stops working, the electricity will still flow.
