Depending on where in the circuit the screw driver is placed it could be used as a switch or it could short the circuit out.
It creates an extra load to the circuit if placed parallel to other circuits. this load approaches the equivalent of a short circuit as the resistance value placed there reduces.
series circuit
polarity is of major importance in dicect current circuits. <<>> When using meters please remember that a volt meter does not connect into a circuit, the leads are placed across the component that you are measuring. It is an amp meter that connects into the circuit, becoming part of the circuit, to measure the current flowing through that circuit.
The voltmeter is connected parallel to the circuit in order to measure the voltage drop across that circuit or sub-circuit. If you were to connect the volmeter series to the circuit, since it is a high impedance device, it would represent an effective open-circuit condition. You would see the voltage available to the circuit, but the circuit would not receive its intended current and it would not function. Contrast this with the ammeter, which you do place series to the circuit in order to measure the current flow through the circuit.
A 'core type' transformer core is one in which the primary windings and secondary windings are placed around each of the limbs, as opposed to a 'shell type' core, in which the two windings are placed across the centre core. A core-type core is a magnetic circuit equivalent to an electric series circuit, whereas a shell-type core is equivalent to an electric parallel circuit.

It is a screwdriver that has a light in the handle. When the tip of the screwdriver is touching the positive wire on an electrical socket, if it lights up when a finger is placed on the top of the handle, the positive wire is live.

If an ammeter is placed in parallel with a a load on a circuit, the circuit can short out as the ammeter takes the place of the load, flowing freely through the meter. Never measure across a resister or other electronic load with an ammeter. Remember, ammeters are used in series while voltmeters are used in parallel.
series circuit
It depends on where and how the resistor is placed in a circuit. A string of series resistors will split the voltage across all them depending on their values. All of the resistors in parallel will have the same voltage across all of them no matter what their resistance is.

The task of an RF module is to transmit and receive radio signals across a number of frequencies. They are part of a small electrical circuit placed in a radio or similar device.
