Question

define parallel connection and series connection?

Answer 1

PARALLEL CONNECTION:- A parallel circuit is a closed circuit divided into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit. Each load connected in a separate path receives the full circuit voltage and the total circuit is equal to the sum of the individual branch currents.

SERIES CONNECTION:- A series circuit is one in which every component is in a series connection. Therefore, a series circuit has the same current at all points in the circuit. The voltage drops across each component in the circuit sum to the source voltage.


HOPE it helps!!!!!
plz mark as brainliest answer!!!!!

Answer 2

Explanation:

In parallel connection of a resistor, potential difference across each and every resistor is same but the current divides. The equivalent resistance in this case is given by :

$R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+....$

In series combination of resistors, current across each and every resistor is same while the potential divides. The equivalent resistance in this case is given by :

$\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}+...$

Hence, this is the required solution.
