Read the text and fill in the summary with NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS. The components of a circuit can be wired in two different ways: Series of parallel. If components are arranged one after another to form a single path between the terminals and the components, the circuit is known as a series circuit. In this type of circuit, the current flows from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, passing through all the other components of the circuit. This means that the amount of energy passing through all the components in the series is the same. The main disadvantage of a series circuit is that when a single component In the path burns out, the entire circuit stops operating (e. g. Christmas tree lights). A parallel circuit consists of several paths connecting the different components. Each separate path is called a branch of the circuit. Current from the source divides and flows through the different branches. Unlike series circuits, if one of the components in the parallel circuit bums out, the other paths continue to operate. Parallel circuits are commonly used to connect appliances at home, so that each socket can function independently, For example, you don’t have to turn on the light in your room for the TV socket to work.

Summary

The components of a circuit can be wired in two different ways: Series and parallel.

The circuit with components arranged one after another to make a single path is called a (1) In this type, the current passes through all the other components. Therefore, all the components in the circuit have the(2) amount of energy passing through. One main disadvantage is that the entire circuit stops operating when a single component in the path burns out.

A (3) has some paths in which each is a branch of the circuit. Current from the source flows through different branches. If one component in the path burns out, the other paths still(4) . They are popular in home (5)
so that each socket can work independently.
