Difference Between Series and Parallel Circuits

 5 Differences Between Series and Parallel Circuits

S.NO.	Series Circuits	Parallel Circuits
1.	In a series circuit, the current flows through each component one after the other.	In a parallel circuit, the current can flow through multiple components simultaneously.
2.	In a series circuit, the current is the same at each point.	In a parallel circuit, the current can be different at each point.
3.	In a series circuit, an increase in the resistance of one component will cause the current to decrease for all of the components in the circuit.	In a parallel circuit, an increase in the resistance of one component will not affect the current flowing through the other components.
4.	Series circuits have only one path for the current to follow.	Parallel circuits have multiple paths for the current to follow.
5.	The behavior of a series circuit is determined by the individual components in the circuit.	The behavior of a parallel circuit is determined by the interactions between the components in the circuit.
