Smile: Exploring Series and Parallel Circuits

Physics classes that are studying electricity connect photovoltaic cells into both series and parallel circuits. Inquiry and critical thinking come into play as learners try to determine which circuit is more productive. They associate...

Emerging electricians extend mental models of light bulbs and resistors in series and or in parallel circuits to include the connection of photovoltaic cells in arrays. They investigate open circuits, using a DC voltmeter, a light...

Wow! Here is a coherent and cleverly designed tool for teaching physical scientists about electric circuits. Animations help learners to visualize what is happening within the parts of a circuit. Components are displayed to teach them...

Here's a video that explains the difference between series and parallel circuits, including the impacts of each on current and voltage.

Build an understanding of electrical circuits in series and parallel. The video instructor demonstrates the effects of manipulating both a series and parallel circuit. Learners realize the difference between the types of circuits as well...
