Physics for IGCSE & O level - Electricity (Section 8 - No. 37)
What is the difference between a series and a parallel circuit?
Only one path for the current flow vs multiple paths
The voltage is constant in series and current in parallel
The resistance is lower in series, higher in parallel
Series uses AC, parallel uses DC
Selitys
The primary difference is the number of current paths: one in series and multiple in parallel.
