A circuit is usually made by linking electrical components together with pieces of wire.
Explain the differences between series and parallel.
Series - in a straight line. A series circuit is one in which all the components are connected one after the other in only one path.
Parallel - parallel to each other. A parallel circuit is one in which the components in the circuit are parallel to each other.

What is Voltage?
it measures how much energy the current is carrying throughout the circuit.
Parallel
Series
How does it differ in series and parallel?
Series - Volts are equally the same.
Parallel - Volts are equally shared
What is Current?
the flow of electrons in a circuit.
Parallel
Series
How does it vary in series and parallel?
Series - The current is the same in all locations
Parallel - The current is shared throughout or between paths/components.
