What is the diference between parallel and series circuit?

Defintion:

Seriers circuit:
-basic type of electrical circuit in which loads (components) are joined in a sequence so that the same current flows through all of them.

-In series circuits, the connection or circuit will not be complete if one component in the series burns out.






Parallel circuit:


-circuit in which loads are connected side by side

-the identical voltage occurs in all components, with the current dividing among the components based on their resistances.

-will still continue to operate, at least with other components, if one parallel-connected component burns out.
