Series circuits have components connected end to end so the same current passes through each one and the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances. If one component fails, the entire circuit fails. Parallel circuits have elements connected independently so removing one does not affect the others, and the voltage is the same across each branch while the current divides between the paths.

2. Series Circuits
• The same current passes through all its
components.
• The total resistance in a series circuit is the
sum of the component resistances.
• If one bulb is broken, none of them will work..

3. Parallel Circuits
• Elements are connected separately.
• If you remove one light, the others will work
normally.
• Voltage is the same across each element.

parallel circuits
