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.
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.
For a series circuit, the applied voltage equals the sum of the voltage drops
No. What you are describing is a series-parallel circuit, not a parallel 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.
Series - parallel circut
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.
For a series circuit, the applied voltage equals the sum of the voltage drops
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.
series circuit
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.
In a series circuit, if any one bulb goes open the rest of the lights will go out. The current flow in a series circuit is common throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit when one bulb goes open the rest remain on due to the configuration of a parallel circuit.
