Consider the electric current to be like the flow of water.
In a series circuit, the downstream wire of the first device is connected to the upstream wire of the second device. So the current has to flow through device one, then device two. In this case, total resistance is increased because it is harder for the current to flow through two devices.
In a parallel circuit, the upstream wires of the two devices are connected to each other, and the downstream wires of the two devices are connected. So, part of the current will flow through device one, and the rest of the current will flow through device two. In this case, total resistance is decreased because the current can flow more easily through the resistors (this takes a little math to really prove, but the conclusion still holds).
Some circuits can have some devices wired in series, and others in parallel, but these circuits should not be confused with simple series and parallel circuits.
What else can I help you with?
How is series clipper differ from parallel clipper?
Series clipper diodes are in series connection with the load while Parallel clippers are in parallel connection with the load.
Which is brighter series or parallel?
Parallel. Coz all the elements will get same voltages from the sources. in case of series connection, the voltage is divided between all elements.
What is the difference between series and parallel connection in current flow?
In a series connection, the current flows through each component in a single path, while in a parallel connection, the current splits and flows through multiple paths.
What is the constant electrical quantity in a series connection and a series-parallel connection?
constant electrical quantity-series connection -current constant electrical quantity-parallel connection - voltage
What is different between parallel circuit and series circuit?
In the series connection and how there is multiple paths or branches on parallel circuits but in a simple circuit, there is one path.
Where does a fuse has more chances of tripping when connected with a series connection or parallel connection?
series connection
What is series - parallel connection?
In series connection current will be same. in parrel connection voltage will be same and current wil be varying
What is the difference of a series connection and a parallel connection?
In a series connection, components are connected end to end, creating one path for current flow. In a parallel connection, components are connected side by side, creating multiple paths for current flow. As a result, the voltage is the same across components in a series connection, while the current is the same across components in a parallel connection.
Why lights in classroom is connected in series or in parallel?
only two connections are possible.. parallel connection is always desired than series. .
What are the characteristics of series connections?
Characteristics of parallel connection.
Can you connect batteries in series and parallel?
Yes, series and parallel connection of batteries is possible. When connected in series Voltage increases. In parallel, Current increases but voltage is constant.
What is the effect of pump installation in series and parallel connection?
if you connect the pumps in series, it will add head at the same flow rate. Inversely, in parallel connection, double the flow rate at same head.
