A circuit can be arranged in either a series or parallel configuration. In a series circuit, the components are connected in a single path, so the same current flows through each component. In a parallel circuit, the components are connected in multiple paths, allowing different currents to flow through each component.
It is not the "opposite" but the major alternative to parallel, which is a series circuit. In parallel circuits, each component has its own circuit path (input to output), while in series the components are connected to one another in a line.

Home devices are connected in parallel and not in series.
Two batteries, put them in series and either measure the voltage with a voltmeter, or with a fan connected watch the speed increase. A parallel connection will increase the current available but will not have an obvious change in output, as the current available is just that, ready for use. You can do something else with parallel and that is to have a volt meter showing that there is a current flow between the two batteries and that is why batteries connected in parallel will discharge.

It was mentioned that there are two different ways to connect two or more electrical devices together in a circuit. They can be connected by means of series connections or by means of parallel connections. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by series connections, then the circuit is referred to as a series circuit. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by parallel connections, then the circuit is referred to as a parallel circuit. A third type of circuit involves the dual use of series and parallel connections in a circuit; such circuits are referred to as compound circuits or combination circuits. The circuit depicted at the right is an example of the use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuitBy EngineerMuhammad Zaheer Meer GMS
only two connections are possible.. parallel connection is always desired than series. .
The components are connected in series (not parallel).
Two batteries can supply more current than one if they are connected in parallel.
Parallel connections will draw more current than equivalent lights connected in series, so the parallel configuration will be brighter.

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
In a series circuit all the components are connected in series, which means that the same current has to flow through all of them. In a parallel circuit with all the components in parallel, the same voltage is across each of them. Some circuits can be a mixture of series and parallel.
