It’s easy to see how the current flows through a circuit that has only one component, like one LED connected to the battery. If it’s a 3 Volt battery, then there’s 3 Volts across the LED also.


But what if there are two or three LEDs? How does the voltage look across each one? What if the LEDs are different sizes? Does it matter how you hook them up, meaning does one way make the LED last monger or glow brighter? Let’s take a look at the difference between series and parallel connections.
