Loads do not 'slow down' electron flow. They effect the magnitude of a current, not its speed!
If one of the light bulbs in Gene's series circuit burns out, the entire circuit will break, causing all the lights to go out. This happens because, in a series circuit, the electrical current must flow through each component in sequence. When one bulb fails, it creates an open circuit, preventing electricity from reaching the remaining bulbs. To restore the lights, the burned-out bulb must be replaced or repaired.
In a parallel circuit (with more than one branch), the current will still flow in the other circuit(s) even if there is a break in one circuit. This is not so with a series circuit, since it does not have branches: if there is a break in the circuit, there is a break in the circuit.
A circuit must have three basic components to make electricity flow. 1. Source of power or electricity. 2. Wires, switches and conductors through which the current can flow. 3. And finally a load to complete the circuit.
An electric circuit.
When you have multiple loads in a series, the resistance of the loads is added together allowing very little current to flow through the circuit to power any of the loads, making for a low amperage circuit. If you have your loads in parellel, the resistance of the loads in the circuit is subtracted which allows more current to flow, making for a high amperage circuit.

In a series circuit, if one component burns out, the circuit will not work because the current flow is interrupted by the burnt-out component. This is because components in a series circuit share the same current.

In a series circuit, loads are connected one after the other in a single path. The current flowing through each load is the same, and the voltage is divided among the loads. If one load fails or is disconnected, all the other loads in the circuit will also turn off because the circuit is broken.
Voltage is potential energy and can exist in a open circuit.
If one bulb burns out in a series circuit, the other bulb will also turn off since there is no longer a complete path for the current to flow. In a parallel circuit, the other bulb will continue to function normally as each bulb has its own separate path for the current to flow.
In a series circuit, if one lamp burns out, it breaks the circuit, causing all the lamps to go out. This occurs because the current can no longer flow through the circuit due to the interruption. As a result, none of the other lamps will light up until the burnt-out lamp is replaced or the circuit is otherwise repaired.
In a parallel circuit, electrons have multiple pathways to travel from the power source to the loads. Each load receives a portion of the total current flowing through the circuit, and the voltage across each load is the same as the source voltage. This allows loads to operate independently of each other.
An electrical circuit can demonstrate energy flow even if it is missing a component due to its closed-loop structure. The energy source will push electrons through the circuit in the loop, and any missing component or gap will not stop this flow. This is because electric current flows in a closed loop, and the energy transfer can still be observed in the completed part of the circuit.
yes charge flow through the circuit
The charge travels through the wires to the loads from the power source where then it powers all the loads connected on the wire. This is beneficial, but also it has its disadvantages. When one of the loads (light bulb) goes out all of the loads connected to the wire go out, instead of where in a parallel circuit the branch that has that load that went out dies. The better choice would be a parallel circuit.
