The total power equals the sum of the individual powers because power is the rate at which energy is supplied. Whether you have a series or parallel circuit, the total power comes from the power source.

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.
The applied voltage in a circuit equals the sum of the circuits individual what?
For a series circuit, the applied voltage equals the sum of the voltage drops
What happens to the voltage if batteries if they are setup in a parallel and a series circuit?
Assuming all of the individual batteries are the same voltage, if arranged in a parallel circuit the voltage is the same as any one battery. If arranged in a series circuit the voltage will be the sum (the total) of all of the batteries added together.
A circuit that has only one path for the current is called?
Series, because everything in the circuit is in series.
Each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors yes or no?
No. What you are describing is a series-parallel circuit, not a parallel circuit.
What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
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

Is the electric circuit in your home a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
Parallel.
What is a parallel series?
There are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.As its name suggests, a 'series-parallel' circuit is a combination of both series and parallel elements.
Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?
series circuit
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.
Would a bedroom be wired using a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit
Is there a similarity in a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
yes. a parallel circuit is made up of many series curcuits. so therefore, without the series curcuit you could not have a parallel curcuit.
What is another name for a series -parallel circuit?
series other name current series and parallel is voltage
