Difference between series and parallel circuits?

Answer 1

The answer to this question is that in a parallel circuit there is more that one circuit or form of energy the circuit. In a series circuit there is only one form of energy in that circuit. Hope this helped you and gave you the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 :)

if you look at a diagram of a parallel circuit, it looks like a ladder, where as a series circuit diagram looks like a rectangle

"What are the differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?"

In a series circuit there is only one path for the electric current to flow. If this path is broken, then the current will no longer flow and all the devices in the circuit will stop working. So if you hook up a bunch of light bulbs together, and one goes out, they all go out, and that can be a problem. In a parallel circuit there is more than one oath for the electric current to pass through. The current continues to flow through the other paths. So if one light bulb goes out of 20 goes out in a parallel circuit, they won't all go out, unlike a series circuit.

Answer 2

In a series circuit all of the current flows through the circuit. It is the same throughout. In a parallel circuit the current is split into the various branches. Check out Kirchhoffs' laws.

Answer 3

In a series circuit the current is constant throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit the voltage is constant throughout the whole circuit.

Answer 4

in series circuits the current flowing through the circuit will be the same and incase of parallel circuits the voltage across them wil be the same
