A series circuit is a circuit with only one pathway for electrons (electricity) to flow! And a parallel circuit has two or more pathways for electrons (electricity) to flow!

If you do not agree with me ask your teacher this exact question to see if i am right or wrong. If you agree with me just read the two sentences above until you have memorized it! Okay! Great!( :

series circuit has a common current and a parallel circuit has a common voltage.

What is the advantage of a parallel circuit over a series circuit.?

In a parallel circuit, all the external resistors are supplied the same potential difference which is not possible in a series circuit. Also in a parallel circuit, every resistor or component can be individually turned on or off without affecting the rest of the circuit.


What is the main difference a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

The series circuit has one wire, while the parallel circuit has two wires. And if you connect the extra wire its dim because your taking away electrons and energy flowing through the main circuit -Hope this helped:D The difference is that series circuit has one path but parallel has more than one path. -hope this helped!:D ~Bunnii Boo


How is a series circuit different to a parell circuit?

The difference between a series and parallel circuit is that a series circuit is connected in such a way that the same current intensity flows through the elements while a parallel circuit is connected in such a way that the same potential appears across their terminals.


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.

What is the difference between parallel and series?

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.
