What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

What will be an ideal response?


A series circuit is when current flows equally through all parts of a circuit, first to one load and then on to the next one. In a series circuit, the resistances of all of the loads add up. Adding loads in series reduces current flow because total resistance goes up.

A parallel circuit is one in which a common point splits into different branches through which electricity can flow. Each branch of the circuit has a load and a separate ground.
