Battery-powered toy car-How to Build an Electric Toy Car
Circuits are actually pretty interesting if you really dig deep into them. If you didn't know, there are two different types of circuits, Series and Parallel circuits. In a Series circuit, there is only one path for the energy to flow through, this means that the charge passes through every light bulb. Also, the more resisters, the more each light bulb is going to decrease. Although, in Parallel circuits, the light only passes through one bulb, but there are multiple pathways. Also, the more resisters, the more the light bulb gets brighter. So if we would have to sum it up, Parallel and Series circuits are basically completely different from each other.Now that we got down the different types of circuits and how they perform, lets talk about current. Current is the amount of energy that is coming out at a period of time. The higher the pressure put on the circuit, the more the flow is going to come out, this is also known as amperage. For example, if there was a big gap in a hose, and a small gap in a hose, the hose with the big gap would have more flow coming out of it because the gap would be wider.In a way, resistance has something to do with current, which I will be explaining. You might have heard about a resister in a circuit. Well, it is the same thing as resistance. Resistance is when you put some kind of tool in a circuit that decreases the energy flow to the, let's just say light bulb, so it won't explode. Let's take the hose example again for a minute. Say you have a perfectly fine hose that has great running water with nothing in it's way to stop it. Then, you bend the hose slighting. That would act as the resister because it is stopping the water from flowing normally. As I was saying earlier, this contributes to the current because if you put in different types of resisters, it will some how effect the flow of the current, therefore the flow of the current would change.
