Series circuit-a circuit in which all components are connected in one big circle so there is only one pathway for electricity to flow

parallel circuit- a circuit split into two or more pathways before coming together at the d-cell (battery)

Electromagnet- a coil of wire wound around a core of iron or steel,which produces an electric field when electricity flows through the wire.
