Best Answer

in a series circuit current flows through each resistor or light bulb and if one item burns out the complete circuit goes dead such were the old fashioned xmas tree lights. They were wire in series and if one light burned out you had to test each light bulb til you found the one burned out to get the whole string to work again. In a parallel circuit each resistor, motor, light bulb has its own ground so if you lost one light in a circuit the rest of them continue to burn.

What does circut mean in science?

Circuit means a current of electricity going thruogh a power source and resistance.


If you add an extra battery to a circuit containing a bulb how will this affect the bulb?

The bulb becomes brighter unless it is too much till it shot-circuits.


A complete path for electricity to flow?

currents can be thought of simply by flowing through a wire, though not always the case. It is convenient to think of current density which is the amount of current flowing through a cross sectional area, like water through the opening of a pipe, since electric current flows through many 3-dimensional objects.
