What is the difference between a parallel circuit and a series circuit?
What is the difference between a parallel circuit and a series circuit?
- In a parallel circuit, the parts are joined one after the other such that the current in each part is the same, while in a series circuit, the parts are joined on branches such that the voltage across the part is the same (correct)
