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

Next Destination: NY CITY

Next Destination:

North Carolina

Current/Speed-50 mph

Car battery-13 volts

- Resistor

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

Drive to New York City

Spots Speed Limit Sign

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
