Flashcard 5 - Electronics Information Flashcard Set for the ASVAB

A series circuit contains loads wired one after another, a parallel circuit has loads wired parallel to each other, and a series-parallel circuit contains some loads wired one after another and some loads wired in parallel with each other.

A series circuit is a circuit that has only one current path. A parallel circuit is a circuit that has more than one current path. Series-parallel resistor circuits consist of combinations of series-connected and parallel-connected resistors.
