Any circuit that even has more than one branch is a parallel one.

parallel circuit
That's a series circuit.
When all parts of a circuit are composed of conducting materials, the circuit is said to be closed. One condition could be a closed circuit, however it could be open if the components are not assembled or are assembled incorrectly.
A relay race would be an example of a series circuit. Since every runner relies on the runner before him/her to continue on, if one runner fails the rest of them fail. With a series circuit, if one part of the circuit fails, all of the parts before and after it fails. A parallel circuit does not completely fail if one or more of the parts fail.
A series/parallel circuit.
That is a series circuit, all parts have the same current flowing through, and the voltages add up.
In an open circuit, the electrons cannot flow easily because one of the parts in a circuit is not connected, whereas, in a closed circuit all the parts are connected, therefore, the electrons can flow easily. Hope this helps:)
Series circuit: one path. Parallel circuit: One path for each branch (two or more).
A series circuit is one is which all current is restricted to one path. A good example of a device that is series-connected is a circuit breaker.
Series.
