That depends. For example, if the circuit is consisted of two resistors, 2 ohms each, the equivalent resistance (Req) of these two resistors in series is 4 ohms, and the Req of these two resistors in parallel is 1 ohm. If the same voltage is applied, say 4 V.
power consumed in a resistance = V2/R.
The parallel circuit: Power = 4 * 4 / 1 = 16 [W].
The series circuit: Power = 4 * 4 / 4 = 4 [W].
With everything else the same, a parallel circuit consumes more energy than a series circuit.
Note that circuits of only simple resistors are discussed. You need to consider each circuit on its merit.
================================
AnswerIt depends. In both cases, the total energy expended will be the sum of the energies expended by each individual load.

What is a parallel series?
There are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.As its name suggests, a 'series-parallel' circuit is a combination of both series and parallel elements.
Difference between series and parallel circuits?
The answer to this question is that in a parallel circuit there is more that one circuit or form of energy the circuit. In a series circuit there is only one form of energy in that circuit. Hope this helped you and gave you the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 :) if you look at a diagram of a parallel circuit, it looks like a ladder, where as a series circuit diagram looks like a rectangle <><><> "What are the differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?" In a series circuit there is only one path for the electric current to flow. If this path is broken, then the current will no longer flow and all the devices in the circuit will stop working. So if you hook up a bunch of light bulbs together, and one goes out, they all go out, and that can be a problem. In a parallel circuit there is more than one oath for the electric current to pass through. The current continues to flow through the other paths. So if one light bulb goes out of 20 goes out in a parallel circuit, they won't all go out, unlike a series circuit.
How many paths does a parallel circuit have?
a parallel circuit has 2 or more paths.a series circuit has 1 path.a parallel circuit is better for homes and school
What are the differences between series circuit lights and parallel circuit lights in terms of energy changes?
In a series circuit the lights share the voltage between them equally and the current stays the same throughout and if one bulb fuses the the other will not work. For the parallel, the voltage is the full voltage from the battery in all bulbs and the current is split between the different routes, and if one goes out the other one will stay lighten.
What is the key difference between a parallel circuit and a series circuit?
A series circuit pretty much runs in one direction, with each item which uses a load on that circuit one after another in a series. Should one load go out (a lamp, for example) then the entire series is defunct. A parallel circuit has more than one way to run, has a parallel or tandem circuit, so that if one load (our lamp, again) should fail, the electricity has another path (or more) to get to other loads on the circuit.
What type of circuit has more than one circuit on a wire a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit is :)
Will a series win between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
No,a parallel will win because it has more power and had equal number of energy!AnswerNeither will 'win'. Each has advantages/disadvantages compared with the other -it depends upon their application. Parallel circuits don't necessarily 'have more power' and an 'equal number of energy' (sic).
What is the difference between a series circuit and as parallel circuit?
series circuit can only move on one patha parallel circuit has two more paths for the electric carve to follow
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
Which is more wired the parallel or series circuit?
the paralel

A circuit that has two or more branches for electrons to follow is?
series circuit
What circuit is a circuit in which electrical current has more than one path to follow?
A circuit that has more than one path for the current to flow is a parallel circuit. The circuit must have two or more paths to be considered parallel. A circuit that has only one current path through multiple components is a series circuit.

Why does electrical current flow along a single path in a series circuit and more than one path in a parallel circuit?
Because there is only a single path in series circuit and many paths in parallel circuit.
Is parallel circuit more advisable than series Circuit?
no series circuit is best. Actually it depends on the application, neither is always better.
How many parts can currents take in series and parallel circuits?
Series circuit: one path. Parallel circuit: One path for each branch (two or more).
