Ohm’s Law:

Ohm’s Law is a law that explains that the current in a circuit is the same amount as the resistance is in the current. This means that if you were to double the current in a circuit the resistance would also have to to double as well. The current multiplied by the resistance in the circuit would equal the voltage. This is what the equation V=IR means, and that (V) is known as voltage, (I) is known as current, and (R) is lastly known as resistance.

Series Circuit:

A series circuit is a circuit that only has one pathways which is not the same as the parallel circuit. With the series circuit the current in its pathway is all equal to the voltage in the same pathway. A series circuit is a continuous current from the source to the light bulb.

Parallel Circuit:

A parallel circuit is a circuit that has two pathways from the energy source, otherwise known as a battery in this situation, that has an equal amount of voltage in each pathways and in their currents. Each pathway leads to a different light bulb, the light bulb uses that energy to create light.

Short Circuit:

A short circuit is a type of electric circuit that is a low resistance connection. The current is going from the source and directly going back to the same source it came from without going through any sort of energy/electric release and where it is being used, such as a light bulb. This creates a circuit that is very dangerous and that has no purpose on doing anything other than starting a fire.

Bonus Question:

– If getting shocked with a circuit with a higher current is dangerous, does that mean that a higher voltage is harmless?

A higher voltage can be very harmful since a high voltage can generate enough current to cause injury. This can create a higher chance of electric shock.
