Series & Parallel Circuit Analogy
Parallel Circuits
FINAL DESTINATION TO THE CITY!!!!
- This is similar to the series circuit analogy except in a parallel circuit analogy, each resistor would be at different destinations/stops and the car would be able to move out of traffic faster
- The higher the voltage in a parallel circuit, the higher the current would be.
- Whereas, the more resistance, the higher the current would be.
Location: New Jersey

North Carolina
Current/Speed-50 mph
Car battery-13 volts
TRAFFIC!!
- This traffic takes an hour and a half to get by.
- As the traffic increases, the speed(mph) decreases.
- (As the resistance increases, the current decreases.)
Current: 20 mph
Resistance: Traffic
Location: North Carolina
Next Destination:
Virginia
Stopping By to Charge Car
- While charging your car, you gain a higher voltage.
- As the voltage increases, the current also increases.
Voltage: 18
Current: 50 mph

Location: Virginia
Analogy: Drive to New York City
- You have an electrical car with a battery that consists of 13 volts.
- The resistor is traffic, speed bumps, and hills.
- The current is how fast you travel to the city (50 mph) and back home.
- As the speed decreases, the voltage stays the same.
- (As the current decreases, the voltage stays the same because you just recharged your vehicle.)
Speed: 25 mph
Voltage: still 18
