Distinguish between:Resistance in Series and Resistance in Parallel

Answer»
Resistance in SeriesResistance in Paralle
(i) Effective resistance of the resistors is equal to the sum of their individual resistances.(i) Inverse of the effective resistance is equal to the sum of the inverse of individual resistances.
(ii) The same current flows through each resistor.(ii) The total current flowing through the circuit is the sum of the currents flowing through individual resistors.
(iii) The effective resistance is larger than each of the individual resistances.(iii) The effective resistance of resistors connected in parallel is less than the least resistance of individual resistors.
(iv) This arrangement is used to increase the resistance in a circuit.(iv) This arrangement is used to decrease the resistance in a circuit.
