 Series & Parallel Circuit
Series Circuit:
In a series circuit, all components are connected end-to-end, forming a
single path for current flow.
Parallel Circuit:
In a parallel circuit, all components are connected across each other,
forming exactly two sets of electrically common points.
Example of Parallel Circuits:
The simplest example of parallel circuits are connections to the power
grid: every home or factory is in parallel with every other home and
factory. Similarly, all those street lamps are in parallel.

Example of Series Circuits:

The most common series circuit in everyday life is the light switch. A
series circuit is a loop that is completed with a switch connection
sending electricity through the loop.
 Voltage Distribution
Parallel Circuit:
When resistors are connected in parallel, the potential difference
across them is equal.

Series Circuit:
Voltage applied to a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual
voltage drops.
 Current Distribution
Series Circuit:
The same current flows through each part of a series circuit.

Parallel Circuit:
The current through each resistor is related to its resistance, given that
the voltage across all resistors is the same.
