They are not exactly the same. A series circuit is one complete circuit with not other pathways. A parallel circuit is a complete circuit with multiple pathways . The resistance of a parallel circuit is completely different from the resistance of a series circuit. Therefore, this affects the voltage and the current produced,
By 'moving charges' I assume you mean 'electrons'. The electrons will move in a random fashion whether we're talking about DC or AC. However, the electrons will move in 1 general direction in DC while they will move back and forth in AC. one pathway
In a series circuit, there is just a single path . In a parallel circuit, there are two or more branches, creating separate pathways along which electrons can flow, so a break in one branch does not affect the flow of electricity in the others.
The electricity follows the entire length of the wire. if any part of the circuit is broken, all the electricity stops moving in the circuit.
A series circuit has more than one resistor and gets its name from only having one path for the charges to move along. Charges must move in "series" first going to one resistor then the next. If one of the items in the circuit is broken then no charge will move through the circuit because there is only one path. There is no alternative route. Old style electric holiday lights were often wired in series. If one bulb burned out, the whole string of lights went off.

In a parallel circuit there are multiple possible pathways for the current to flow.
Current in a series circuit is a flow of charges that is equal at any point in the circuit.
because the series has only one path that electricity flows and parallel circuit has one or more pathways that electricity can flow
It is a series electrical circuit.

Because you need to use a parallel circuit. With a series circuit, the car headlights will become dim. This is because, the electricity in a series circuit goes only one way and this means that when there are 2 bulbs, the charges of electricity have to use half of their energy for each bulb.
the electrons are not allowed to enter into the circuit.
The primary difference between a series and a parallel circuit is how many pathways the current has to travel in. Let's look at both of them and see what's up. In a simple series circuit, there is only one path for current. The current must flow through every component in the circuit.
