PARALLEL AND SERIES CONNECTION

Components of an electrical circuit or electronic circuit can be connected in many different ways. The two simplest of these are called series and parallel and occur frequently. Components connected in series are connected along a single path, so the same current flows through all of the components.[1][2] Components connected in parallel are connected along multiple paths, so the same voltage is applied to each component

PARALLEL CONNECTION HINTS


Materials
  1. 6v or 12v Battery (optional) 
  2. Cable
  3. Bulb
  4. Lampholder
  5. Plier
Step1: connect the positive n the negative wire to the lampholder
Step2: clip the bulb to the lampholder
Step3: connect to positive and negative from the bulb the the terminal of the battery respectively (I. e positive to positive  and negative to negative)

SERIES CONNECTION HINTS

 Materials

   1.   6v or 12v Battery (optional)
   2.  Cable
   3.   Bulb (2)
   4.   Lampholder (2)
   5. Plier

Step1: connect the positive n the negative wire to the twolampholder
Step2: clip the bulb to both lampholder
Step3: join one negative to the other positive (second) from the lampholder
Now left with one negative from first lampholder n one positive from the second lampholder
Join the the to of them to the battery 🔋 terminal respectively
And the bulb glow

NOTE: in parallel connection voltage is the same across the circuit while current change
While in series connection the same current will flow while voltage change
