Basically, a series circuit is like a string of Christmas lights. There is a single path for an electrical current to run along. Along that string is a consecutive line of "resistors" (in this case, a light-bulb) through which the electricity has to pass. If one of these resistors breaks down, the electricity can no longer pass through and any resistor beyond the one that broke down no longer has power to turn it on. On a string of Christmas lights, if one little bulb goes out, it blocks the electricity for all of the lights beyond it. All of the lights are connected to the power source by the SAME path.
A parallel circuit, on the other hand, is like the lights in your house. If one burns out, all of the others still stay on, right? This is because all of the lights are connected to the same power source, but by DIFFERENT paths. So even if one light burns out, it's separate from the other ones and so it doesn't affect it.
This is the difference between series and parallel. In series, they are all connected to the same power source by the same path, with parallel it's the same power source, but by a different path.

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 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
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.
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.
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.
Is the electric circuit in your home a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
Parallel.
Is series parallel the same as parallel?
No, series parallel, as it implies has components of the circuit configured in both series and parallel. This is typically done to achieve a desired resistance in the circuit. A parallel circuit is a circuit that only has the components hooked in parallel, which would result in a lower total resistance in the circuit than if the components were hooked up in a series parallel configuration.
