Series and Parallel Connection in Electrical Circuits

1. Series Connection A series connection is when electrical components are connected one after another in a single path.

Current has only one path to flow.

The same current flows through all the components.

If one component becomes open/disconnected, the whole circuit can stop working.

Voltage is shared among the components.

Example:
Supply → Lamp 1 → Lamp 2 → Lamp 3 → Supply

2. Parallel Connection A parallel connection is when components are connected across separate branches.

Current has multiple paths to flow.

The same voltage is across each branch.

If one lamp goes off, the other lamps can continue working.

Current is divided among the branches.

Example:

┌── Lamp 1 ──┐
Supply ───┤── Lamp 2 ──├── Supply
└── Lamp 3 ──┘

Easy way to remember

Series Parallel

One path Multiple paths
Current is the same Current divides
Voltage is shared Voltage is the same
One open component can stop the circuit One branch can fail while others work

In normal house wiring, lamps and sockets are generally connected in parallel, so each appliance receives the supply voltage independently.

APPRENTICE, PLEASE BE PATIENT AND TAKE YOUR WORK SERIOUSLY. 🔧⚡

This boss man don study we apprentice like seriously. 😂

He made me remember a man who repairs refrigerators. He once told me that fridge repairing is a bigger job than electrical installation.

I was just looking at him like, “This man no sabi anything.” 😂

He said, “Me that my house wiring, na me do everything, even the tenants’ own.”

Sebi na to ON light you do? Even that one can’t be called standard house wiring installation. I’m sure it’s only his house he can comfortably wire; they might not even call him outside for serious electrical work.

We apprentices, please let’s be patient and take our work seriously.

Many apprentices run away from their bosses because of the little knowledge they have gained and the little money they are beginning to see.

Some run away because of the stress.

Some run away because their boss sends them on errands everywhere.

Some run away because they feel they already know enough.

But running away from your boss and thinking you are now a boss yourself—wait until they call you to clear a fault, or you make a wrong connection that causes serious damage, and the first thing they tell you is:

“Call your boss.” 😂

You will explain tire. 😭

Electrical installation is not something you can learn completely in one year, four years, or even many years.

No matter how long you apprentice, you cannot know every strategy and every aspect of electrical installation.

Why?

Because every year, new electrical products come out.

Different types of fittings come with different installation methods.

New machines come with different connections and technologies.

So don’t feel like Merlin because you now know how to connect two-gang and three-gang switches. 😂⚡

Electrical installation still goes far beyond that.

The basic principles of wiring may remain, but electrical fittings, equipment, technology, and installation methods can keep changing.

Don’t just become a “street electrician.”

Keep learning.

Learn domestic installation. Learn industrial installation. Understand fault finding. Improve your practical knowledge.

Learn from your boss, seniors, juniors, other professionals, and even from your mistakes.

But always remember:

You can become very good at your profession without knowing everything.

Do your best to become an expert, but remain humble enough to keep learning.

We learn every single day.

Furthermore, my dear apprentice, be patient. Take your training seriously. Respect the process.

One day, the experience you are gaining today will speak for you.

Subhanarabbika 🤲⚡

ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL. 🤲🏽

I went out to buy more electrical materials for my customers. My first set of materials hasn’t finished yet, but Alhamdulillah, I’ve already sold about half of each item.

Some people might see that the capital in my first business post was higher than what I spent this time and wonder, “Why?”

There’s a reason. I noticed that some of my clients really like certain types of lights, especially when there is blue light or warm white among the options. I’ve installed them for two different clients, and because I didn’t have enough at home, I had to go outside to buy them.

That was taking my time, energy and transportation money. So I decided to add those materials to the ones I already have at home, so I can serve my customers better and faster.

Someone has to start from somewhere. 💯

Not every rich person you see today woke up one morning and became a billionaire. Except by Allah’s will, there is usually a long story behind success.

When you hear the stories of how some successful people made it, you may be surprised by what they went through before getting to where they are today.

So if you see someone who is careful with money, don't be too quick to judge them. They may know how far they struggled and hustled before they got there. Not everybody was born into a wealthy family.

Start from somewhere.

Post that idea.
Share that product.
Show your work.
Show your face.

The more you show up, the more your audience learns to trust your brand.

Consistency is not about being perfect; it’s about being present.

Start from the ground.
Post steadily.
Let people know what you do for a living.
Let people know what you are capable of.

One day, you’ll look back and be grateful that you started.

Ire ooo! 🤲🏽💯

PROFESSION & APPRENTICESHIP ⚡️

No matter how many years you spend learning your profession under your boss, you can never learn everything from one person.

Learning never stops, as long as you are willing to learn.

There are things you will learn from your boss. There are things you will learn from another person's boss, your seniors, your juniors, and even from someone who is not directly familiar with your profession but has an idea or experience that can help you solve a particular problem.

Recently, i was called to install a surface pressure pumping machine. I had never seen that particular machine before, nor had i seen how it was installed.

That is why, as a professional or apprentice, you have to be friendly, bold, observant, curious, and willing to ask questions.

Honestly, i didn't even know what i was being called for. They only knew me as someone who does electrical installation.

I got there with the plumber who called me for the job. At first, I was just looking at the machine, thinking, "How am I going to install this?" 😂

The plumber then asked me:

"You don't know how the connection goes, abi?"

I explained to him that i knew what some of the cables were for, but i wasn't completely sure about the connections between the pressure machine and the surface water pump.

In my mind, i was thinking, "I don't want to damage a machine worth almost ₦80,000." 😂
Where i won see money?

Then he explained how the connection was supposed to work, and everything started making sense to me. I paid attention, asked questions, and learned something new.

This automatic pressure pumping system is commonly used in storey-building houses and sometimes bungalows. It helps push water from the tank through the plumbing system with better pressure. When the water demand stops, the system can automatically stop the pump.

What i love about this experience is that i learned something from someone whose profession is closely related to mine.

Electrical installation deals with electricity, while plumbing deals with water — but sometimes, the two professions have to work together.

That day reminded me that you don't have to know everything before you accept an opportunity to learn.

Be humble enough to learn.
Be bold enough to ask questions.
Be friendly enough to connect with people.
And be observant enough to learn from every opportunity.

Alhamdulillah for another opportunity to learn something new. 🤲⚡️

Learning never stops.
