In electrical circuits series and parallel are two basic ways of wiring components. The naming comes after the method of attaching components, i.e. one after the other, or next to each other. As a demonstration, consider a very simple circuit consisting of two light bulbs and one 9V battery. If a wire joins the battery to one bulb, to the next bulb, then back to the battery, in one continuous loop, the bulbs are said to be in series. If, on the other hand, each bulb is wired separately to the battery it is wired in a parallel circuit.

Parallel means exactly across from. These two lines that form an equals sign are parallel: =. Some more examples of parallel items are railroad tracks, all the sides of a square (the left and right are parallel from each other, and the top and bottom are parallel from each other). Hope this helps! : ]
