Question

Difference between series and parallel connection ?

Answer 1

In a series circuit, a common current flows through all the components of the circuit. While in a parallel circuit, a different amount of current flows through each parallel branch of the circuit. In the series circuit, different voltage exists across each component in the circuit.

Answer 2

In a series circuit, all components are connected end-to-end, forming a single path for current flow. In a parallel circuit, all components are connected across each other, forming exactly two sets of electrically common points.
