The main concepts associated with series and parallel circuits are organized in the table below. Since both types of connections are used in combination circuits, the concepts associated with both types of circuits apply to the respective parts of the circuit. When analyzing combination circuits, it is critically important to have a solid understanding of the concepts that pertain to both series circuits and parallel circuits. This is an example of a combination circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. The circuit depicted at the right is an example of the use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. A third type of circuit involves the dual use of series and parallel connections in a circuit such circuits are referred to as compound circuits or combination circuits. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by parallel connections, then the circuit is referred to as a parallel circuit.
When all the devices in a circuit are connected by series connections, then the circuit is referred to as a series circuit. They can be connected by means of series connections or by means of parallel connections. Previously in Lesson 4, it was mentioned that there are two different ways to connect two or more electrical devices together in a circuit.
