I. Content Standard:
A simple DC circuit and the relationship between electricity and magnetism in
electromagnets
II. Background Information:

SERIES CIRCUIT PARALLEL CIRCUIT

Bulbs that are connected one after the other in one chain is an example of a series
circuit. Electric current flows through a single path, so when one bulb is loosened or
busted, all the other bulbs in this circuit will not light anymore. The loosened or busted
bulb breaks or opens the pathway, so electricity cannot flow through.
A parallel circuit on the other hand, has light bulbs with different loops. Thus,
each bulb is a part of a different circuit. When one bulb is loosened, taken or burned
out, the other bulbs still light up. This is because each bulb has its own pathway. A
break in one pathway does not make all lights go out because electricity can still flow
through the other pathways.
What is the appropriate circuit in our homes?
It is the parallel circuit. In such a circuit, each light and electrical device has
its own oath of electricity that, even if you turn off one of them, the others will still
function.
III. Learning competency:
 Determine the effects of changing the number or type of components in a circuit
(S5FE-llli-g-7)
