4.4 POWERPOINT PRESENTATION

Abstraction Parallel Circuit
(10 mins.) An electric circuit with more than one for the current to flow is called a parallel circuit. If
one loop is interrupted,the current can still flow through the other loop. In the parallel
circuit, if one light bulb burns out, the other light bulb will still work because current can
still flow through it. A common example of parallel circuit is the connection of electrical
wirings at home and street lights.
*Advantages of Using Parallel Connection*
The following are some of the advantages of parallel connection:
1. All loads in parallel connection are directly connected to the voltage
source.
2. In a parallel circuit, even if one of the light bulbs is damaged, all other
light bulbs will still function since the flow of current is not entirely interrupted.
3. Individual load in a parallel circuit is easy to control. Each load has a
connecting wire for the current to flow, and each may have its own switch. Even if
you switch off one bulb, other bulbs are not affected.
4. All light bulbs and appliances at home are connected in parallel.
Switching off some appliances does not affect other appliances.
*Disadvantages of Using Parallel Connection*
The following are some of the disadvantages of parallel connection:
1. Overloading may happen if appliances are simultaneously used at home.
2. A parallel connection is difficult to install, maintain, and repair since
large volume of conducting wires is needed. When problem in the
connection occurs, it is difficult to identify which loop among the many
loops does not work.
3. It requires the use of several conducting wires of varying sizes.
 Series Circuit
An electric circuit with only one path for the current to flow is called a series circuit. If a
series circuit is interrupted at any point in its single loop, no current can flow through the
circuit and no loads in the circuit will work. In series circuit, if one light bulb burns out, the
other light bulb will not work because it will not receive any current. Series circuits are
commonly used in Christmas lights. The electrical switch is also connected in series with
the light bulbs.
*Advantages of Using Series Connection*
The following are some of the advantages of series connection:
1. A series connection does not overheat easily.
2. In a series circuit, there is the only one path for the current to flow from
the voltage source to the different loads. It would be easy to connect and
disconnect new load.
3. Since series circuit is less likely to overheat, there is no need to use
expensive, thick wires.
*Disadvantages of Using Series Connection*
The following are some of the disadvantages of series connection:
1. If one of the light bulbs is damaged or removed in a series connection, all
other light bulbs in the circuit will not light too. This is because the point where
the bulb is damaged or removed causes the circuit to open, resulting to
discontinue the flow of current in the circuit.
2. The addition of more light bulbs in series circuit causes a decrease in the
brightness of the bulbs.
3. The loads in a series circuit are difficult to control individually. When the
switch is off, all loads in the circuit will not function anymore.
4. It is difficult to identify the damaged bulb in the circuit.

4.5
Application 1. Do you have a parallel and series connection at home?
2. What do you think are the reasons why we need to use both parallel and series
(10 mins.) connections at home?
3. Do you agree that electricity is one of the most important things in our daily lives?
4. If so, how is it important in our daily lives? (Relational)
5. If there’s no electricity, how does that affect our way of living? (extended abstract)
Objective 3: Applied a range of teaching strategies to develop critical and creative
thinking, as well as other higher-order thinking skills.
Possible Answers:
1. Yes
2. We used parallel circuit at home to provide equal amount of energy to all
appliances. Series Circuit are use for water heater, freezers, and refrigerators.
3. Yes
4. Electricity gives us comfort and convenience in cooking, it provides us
entertainment and communication. It also plays an important role in the hospitals.
It has many uses in our day to day life.
5. The disappearance of electricity means a complete change of the entire daily
routine. Life without electricity is therefore no longer conceivable. Without
electricity, many tasks that are easily done are no longer possible.
