Series, Parallel, and Combination Circuits - College Physics 2 - Lecture 15 (Part 1)

This lecture from Spahn's Science Lectures explores the fundamental concepts of electrical circuits, beginning with series circuits where current flow, potential difference distribution, and resistance calculation are thoroughly explained with practical examples. The discussion then transitions to parallel circuits, examining how potential difference remains constant while current divides and resistance combines differently than in series arrangements. Throughout the 58-minute presentation, multiple circuit examples demonstrate practical applications of these principles, and the session concludes with review questions to reinforce understanding of both series and parallel circuit configurations.
