Series circuit: elements are connected one after the other; the current (the electrons, or other charge carriers) has to pass through each of the elements in turn.
Parallel circuit: elements are connected in such a way that part of the current will pass through one circuit element, part through the other.
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
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.
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 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.
series circuit
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.
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.
