Question

Difference between parallel and Series connection.?​

Answer 1

difference between parallel and series connection : -

1) In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component.

1) In a series circuit, every device must function for the circuit to be complete. If one bulb burns out in a series circuit, the entire circuit is broken.

Answer 2

Answer:

In a series circuit,

1. There is only one current pathway.
2. All components have same current through them.
3. The sum of potential drops across each. component is equal to the emf of the source.This statement is known as kirchoff's voltage law.
4. In series circuit it follows that if there is a break in any part of the circuit, no current flows.This is why fuses, circuit breakers and safety switches are placed in series with the appliances they are designed to protect.
5. Ammeters are placed in series with the component whose current you are attempting to measure.

In parallel circuit,

1. There is more than one current pathway,
2. All components have the same potential difference across them.
3. The sum of current flowing into any ponit in circuit equals the sum of currents flowing out of that point.This statement is known as kirchoff's current law.
4. In parallel circuit, each component acts as if it were the only one present. A break in one circuit doesn't affect the others. Unlike a series circuit, it's not ‘ one out all out' !.
5. Voltmeter are placed in parallel with the component whose voltage you are attempting to measure.
