they both provide one path
A series circuit is wired in one direct pathway, meaning the components are connected end-to-end like a chain. In a series circuit, the same current flows through each component, so if one component fails, the entire circuit will be disrupted.
In a parallel circuit there are multiple wires coming from a power source to power diffret devises and they don't go in a chain. In a series circuit one wire comes from a power source and strings together multiple devise in a single wire. With the chain the power level for the wire goss down with each added load unlike in a parrell circuit.
If you remove one light from a chain of lights, and the other lights turn off, then it is a 'series' circuit.
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
Your question is very muddled and it is difficult to understand exactly what you are asking. Something is in "series" if it is connected in the circuit as a "daisy chain". Thus both loads AND batteries may be placed in series.
series circuit
parallel circuit / series circuit / and a short circuit
In a series circuit, the voltage is the same across all components connected in a series. This is known as the series circuit voltage.
A series circuit is a way of connection components of an electrical circuit. A circuit that is made up solely of components connected in a series is known as a series circuit.
This project will require a parallel circuit, not a series circuit.
In a series circuit current does stay the same thoughout the circuit, voltage drops in the series circuit.
