In a series type circuit, the electric current passes through each element of the circuit (light bulb or whatever) in sequence; it does not reach any element until it has first passed through all the earlier elements. In a parallel type circuit, every element of the circuit receives its electric current independently. A separate wire connects each element to the source of the current rather than to the previous element of the circuit.

What is the difference between a parallel and series circuit?
One is parallel and one is not
What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
What is the difference between a series circuit and as parallel circuit?
series circuit can only move on one patha parallel circuit has two more paths for the electric carve to follow
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
What type of circuit are there?
parallel circuit / series circuit / and a short circuit
What is the advantage of a parallel circuit over a series circuit.?
In a parallel circuit, all the external resistors are supplied the same potential difference which is not possible in a series circuit. Also in a parallel circuit, every resistor or component can be individually turned on or off without affecting the rest of the circuit.
What is the difference between a series and parallel circuit?
because the series has only one path that electricity flows and parallel circuit has one or more pathways that electricity can flow
Types of electrical circuit?
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.
How is a series circuit different to a parell circuit?
The difference between a series and parallel circuit is that a series circuit is connected in such a way that the same current intensity flows through the elements while a parallel circuit is connected in such a way that the same potential appears across their terminals.
What is the main difference a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
The series circuit has one wire, while the parallel circuit has two wires. And if you connect the extra wire its dim because your taking away electrons and energy flowing through the main circuit -Hope this helped:D The difference is that series circuit has one path but parallel has more than one path. -hope this helped!:D ~Bunnii Boo
What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel cicuit and condition?
is it g style
What is the difference between parallel and series?
If you are referring to an electrical circuit, a series circuit is wired in such a way that if one object is removed from the circuit, the circuit is broken and everything within the circuit loses power. In a parallel circuit different components of the circuit can be removed without disabling power to the rest of the devices within the circuit.
