Difference in parallel and series circuits?

Answer 1

If two or more circuit components are connected end to end like a daisy chain, it is said they are connected in series. A series circuit is a single path for electric current through all of its components. Bulbs will get dimmer the further along the chain. If two or more circuit components are connected like the rungs of a ladder it is said they are connected in parallel. A parallel circuit is a different path for current through each of its components. A parallel circuit provides the same voltage across all its components and hence the same brightness of bulb.
The voltage is the same in a parallel circuit while the voltage is shared in a series circuit.

Answer 2

In a series circuit - all the electrons flow through all the devices in the circuit.

In a parallel circuit - some electrons flow through one branch and some flow through the other branch.

Answer 3

A: It really doesn't matter if it is AC or DC the mechanics are the same electrons orbiting a nucleus leave orbit and travel to the next nucleus and so forth until the force is removed. The difference is that in AC the flow changes direction due to the polarity reversal of the force

Answer 4

current remains unchanged i a seires circuit whereas in parllel circuit current divides in the inverse ratio of the resistances

eg. let r1 and r2 be two resistances in series when both are connected with a battery of V volts

the total current flowing through r1=ootal current flowing through r2=v/(r1+r2)

in parllel connection :-i.e r1 r2

the total current flowing in the circuit is I=v(r1+r2)/(r1*r2)

let i1 s current flowing throug r1 and let i2 s current flowing throug r2 then ,

i1 = r2*I /(r1+r2

i2 = r1*I /(r1+r2

Answer 5

A series circuit branches off and a parallel circuit never meets

Answer 6

Can't illustrate. Series components in a row. Parallel branches side by side.
