Question:
Suppose a car has headlights operating in parallel but with different resistances—one of 2.0 ohms and the other of 3.0 ohms. Suppose the headlight parallel circuit is connected in series with a circuit for a car stereo that can be modeled by a 1.0 resistor. What is the current being drawn from a 12. V battery when both the lights and the stereo are on?
Draw the circuit and solve for the unknown quantity requested.

In a series circuit, the same amount of current flows through all the components placed in it. On the other hand, in parallel circuits, the components are placed in parallel with each other and the circuit splits the current flow.
