Question

Similarities and differences between series and parallel circuit

Answer 1

A Series Circuit can be described as:

A circuit in which:

1.Only ONE path for current to flow in a closed circuit
2.Current remains the SAME in all parts of the circuit
3.Voltage is DIFFERENT across each each component

AND

A Parallel Circuit can be described as:

A circuit in which:

1.Current is DIFFERENT through each component of the circuit (according to their resistance values)
2.Voltage remains the same across each component of the circuit
3.total power supplied is the sum of powers consumed in each circuit components like: P_Total=P_1+P_2+…
