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.

What is the main difference between 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
Difference between concurrent processing and parallel processing in computer architecture?
concurrent processing deals with N-client single server whereas parallel supports N-client N-server
Does battery amperage doubles when in a parallel?
Yes, and when in series the voltage doubles.
What is the difference between lanthanides and actinides?
Wht is the difference between Lanthanides and Actinides?
If you have three light bulbs two are connected in parallel This combination is connected in series with the third bulb What is the relative intensity of each bulb?
All the bulbs should be the same brightness because they are all receiving the same voltage, which would be half the voltage of the original source. To visualize why this is the case, imagine the electrons moving through the circuit. The electrons can take two paths through the circuit but either way they have to pass through two light bulbs. The two bulbs in parallel may, however, appear slightly dimmer because the current is split between them and restricted by the third bulb. Assume that the resistance of all light bulbs are equal. The current through the light bulbs in parallel will be 1/2 that through the one in series as it is split equally between the two of them. The intensity of each light bulb is proportional to the power through each bulb. Power is I2R. So, if the total current is 1 amp the power through the series light bulb is R, where the power through the parallel light bulbs will be 1/4R. Therefore the intensity of the parallel bulbs will be 1/4 the light bulb in series.
What is the difference between a parallel and series circuit?
One is parallel and one is not
What is the Difference between series and parallel inverter?
One difference between a series and a parallel inverter is that series inverters are connected one after another. Whereas, parallel converters are only connected individually. Another difference between the two is that series inverters are used in small sub servers, whereas, parallel inverters are used in main servers.
What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel cicuit and condition?
is it g style
What is the difference between hooking up a 1.5v batteries in parallel and in series?
there is none
What is the difference between serial robots and parallel robots?
series and parallel are different types of circuits that a robot can contain
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
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
What are differences between series and parallel circuits?
In series circuits current will be the same through out the circuit. So whereever we connect the ammeter the same current is registered. But in parallel circuit current will be different in different lines. In parallel circuits the potential difference will be the same but in series pd will be different.
What is difference between seiries curcuits and parallel circuits?
A: In a series circuit the current remains the same In a parallel circuit the current may divide to satisfy the branches of the loads,
What is the difference between parallel circuits and series circuit?
In parallel circuits all positives go to negatives, in series it is positive to positive,negative to negative. The difference example , if 12 vote batteries are in parallel 2 batteries would produce 24 volts, in series you would boost the time required to depleate the battery, but it would stay at 12 volts.
What is the difference between colpitts and hartley ossilator?
colpitts oscillator has two coils in series and one capacitor in parallel. hartley oscillator has one capacitor and one coil in parallel
How should voltmeter be connected to measure the potential difference across a resistor - in series or in parallel?
In parallel.
