They are not. They are connected differently, and the voltages and currents behave in different ways.

Is the current the same everywhere in the parallel circuit?

No. The current in a series circuit is the same everywhere. The voltage across a parallel circuit is the same.


What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?

There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.


How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?

A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel


Is series parallel the same as parallel?

No, series parallel, as it implies has components of the circuit configured in both series and parallel. This is typically done to achieve a desired resistance in the circuit. A parallel circuit is a circuit that only has the components hooked in parallel, which would result in a lower total resistance in the circuit than if the components were hooked up in a series parallel configuration.


What type of circuit are there?

parallel circuit / series circuit / and a short circuit


How is a series circuit different to a parell circuit?

The difference between a series and parallel circuit is that a series circuit is connected in such a way that the same current intensity flows through the elements while a parallel circuit is connected in such a way that the same potential appears across their terminals.


In a series circuit which quantity remains same throughout the circuit?

Current flow remains the same throughout the circuit.


What is special about electric current in a series circuit?

In a series circuit the current remains the same throughout the circuit. This is not the case for parallel circuits.


Types of electrical circuit?

Series and parallelImproved AnswerThere are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex. 'Complex' is a 'catch-all', used to describe circuits that are not series, parallel, or series-parallel. An example of a 'complex' circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge circuit.


What is the advantage of parallel circuit from serios circuit?

In parallel ckt voltage in all branches will be same, its different in series ckt


What happens to the current in the series circuit?

current remains same in series while divide itself in parallel circuit


How is a series circuit different from parallel circuit?

A parallel circuit is different in many ways from a series circuit: 1. In parallel, the voltage across all the devices connected is the same. 2. If a fault occurs in any device connected in parallel combo, then it has no effect on the operation of the other device. 3. In series circuit the current flowing through all the devices is the same while in case of the parallel one the voltage across all the devices is same.
