2. Series Circuit
A circuit in which the loads are connected end to end so that there is only one path for electrons to flow.

3. Parallel Circuit
A circuit in which the loads are connected by branches so that there are two or more paths for electrons to flow.
(8:00 overview and series and parallel – very good)
