Resistors in series add resistance to an electrical circuit. For instance two 1 ohm resistors in series will have 2 ohms of resistance.
Resistors in parallel divide the resistance between them. Thus two 2 ohm resistors in parallel will have 1 ohms total resistance.
resistors of different sizes work the same way. a 4 ohm and 2 ohm resistor in series have 6 ohms resistance. While in parallel they will have .75 ohm resistance.
resistance formulas:
series: Req = r1+r2+r3....+rx
parallel: Req = 1/r1 + 1/r2 + 1/r3 ..... +1/rx
Characteristics of parallel connection.
In series.
In parallel.
In a circuit, either in Parallel or in Series with other components.
In simple way resistor bank contains number of resistors in series or parallel combination. They are connected in parallel to decrease the resistance and increase current rating and power dissipation.And they are connected in series to increase resistance and power dissipation.
Characteristics of parallel connection.
1.In series connection the total resistance is equal the total number of resistor that was connected in series 2.the current is constant in a series connection 3.in a series connection total voltage is equal the number of of volt per cells
In series.
Series clipper diodes are in series connection with the load while Parallel clippers are in parallel connection with the load.
constant electrical quantity-series connection -current constant electrical quantity-parallel connection - voltage

series connection
In parallel.
In a circuit, either in Parallel or in Series with other components.
the voltage across that resistor will increase if it is in series with the other resistors. the current through that resistor will increase if it is in parallel with the other resistors.
no
In series connection current will be same. in parrel connection voltage will be same and current wil be varying
