Difference between series and parallel connections |
| Answer» Components\xa0connected\xa0in\xa0parallel\xa0are\xa0connected\xa0along multiple paths so that the current can split up; the same voltage is applied to each component. A\xa0circuit\xa0composed solely of components\xa0connected\xa0in\xa0series\xa0is known as a\xa0series circuit; likewise, one\xa0connected\xa0completely in\xa0parallel\xa0is known as a\xa0parallel circuit. A\xa0series\xa0circuit has all the components connected in\xa0series. ...\xa0With a series\xa0circuit, the same current flows through all the components.\xa0In a parallel\xa0circuit each leg has its own current. This is the\xa0difference between\xa0the if a light goes out the rest sat lit\xa0in a parallel\xa0circuit. | |
