Two-Terminal Components and Electrical Networks Quiz

In a series electrical network, each component has the same electric current through it, equal to the current through the network, and the voltage across the network is equal to the sum of the voltages across each component.

Components connected in parallel have the same voltage across each component, equal to the voltage across the network, and the current through the network is equal to the sum of the currents through each component.

Components connected in series are connected along a single electrical path, while components connected in parallel are connected along multiple paths.
