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.
A parallel circuit.
Parallel circuits can have more than one way around the circuit I.e. ______O______ |______O_____| |_____|-______| Series circuits only have one way around the circuit I.e. ______O______ |______|-_____| Key: __ or | = wire O = light |- = battery/cell
in the series circuit elements are one behind the other ie +ve terminal of one element is connected to the -ve of other element of the circuit whenever in parallel circuits the elements are parallely connect ie all +ve terminal are connected at a point and all -ve terminals of the elements are connected at a point.
in bedrooms we have parallel circuit.
They divide the electrons between different branches of the circuit.
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,
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.
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.
In the series connection and how there is multiple paths or branches on parallel circuits but in a simple circuit, there is one path.

In a parallel circuit, there are two or more branches connected to the voltage source, providing multiple paths for the current to flow. Each branch forms a separate circuit, but they share the same voltage source.

AnswerA series circuit contanis only one circuit in which the current flows through.A parallel circuit contains two circuits, so the current flows through both and if one gap is made to the circuit, the other wire connected to the battery completes it.
