precisely. Electricity is made up of electrons. The flow of these electrons is their current. The precise nature of the current is determined by the manner in
which various resistors are wired together. Consider for example, series and parallel circuits. These are two of the more simplistic ways to connect two components together. Whether
these components are the lights on a Christmas tree or large electrical engines, the manner in which they are wired together determines not just the way the electricity flows through
them but also such things as voltage and current. These, in turn are affected by the resistors and their respective placement in the circuit. Serial connections are the most
simplistic circuits. When resistors, i.e anything from light bulbs to engines, are wired in series they receive the current in a series (All About Circuits, 2009). In other
words, the current flows through the first resistor, then the second resistor and so on and so forth in a single path (All About Circuits, 2009). It then flows
back to the battery to form a continuous loop (All About Circuits, 2009). To illustrate this consider a ten volt battery that is wired in series to three light
bulbs each with a resistance of eight ohms. Ohms Law is used to describe such relationships. It holds that "the current in a circuit is directly proportional to
the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the amount of resistance" (Sullivan, 2009). The voltage referenced in Ohms Law can be provided through a battery or sources such
as power plants or even fuel cells. When we place batteries in our Ipod we are completing a circuit. When we plug in an appliance in our homes,
