The document compares and contrasts series and parallel circuits. A series circuit has components connected one after the other such that the same current passes through each component. In parallel circuits, components are connected side by side such that each component receives the full voltage of the power source. Examples given include Christmas lights often using a series-parallel combination, and fluorescent lights typically using a series circuit.
