in parallel circuit passive components such as resistor capacitor and inductor are connected in such away tht all components positive sided terminals are connected together and similarly negative sided terminals. and then positive terminal of the source is connected to positive side and vice versa.while in case of series circuit negative terminal of first component is connected to the positive terminal of the second component and so on and then source is connected

There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
In series circuits current will be the same through out the circuit. So whereever we connect the ammeter the same current is registered. But in parallel circuit current will be different in different lines. In parallel circuits the potential difference will be the same but in series pd will be different.
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
parallel circuit / series circuit / and a short circuit
In a parallel circuit there are multiple possible pathways for the current to flow.
In the series connection and how there is multiple paths or branches on parallel circuits but in a simple circuit, there is one path.
One is parallel and one is not
series circuit can only move on one patha parallel circuit has two more paths for the electric carve to follow
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.
Parallel.
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.
