Key Concepts

Parallel Circuit

A parallel circuit is a configuration in which multiple components are connected across the same two points, allowing current multiple paths to flow through different branches. In parallel circuits, the voltage across each component is the same, while the overall current is the sum of the currents through each branch, and if one branch is disconnected, the remaining branches can continue to operate.

Series Circuit

A series circuit is one in which components are connected end-to-end so that the same current flows sequentially through each component. In series circuits, the total resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistances, and any interruption in the circuit results in an interruption in the flow of current, which means all components share one common path for the electric current.
