Describe the similarities and differences between circuits with resistors combined in series and circuits with resistors combined in parallel

from the below explanation...  we can say that, in the series circuit, flowing current remains the same at each part of the circuit. While in parallel circuits, the voltage across two endpoints of the branches is the same as the supplied voltage.

Explanation:

1.

The components in a series circuit are arranged in a single path from one end of supply to another end. However, the multiple components in a parallel circuit are arranged in multiple paths wrt the two end terminals of the battery.

2.

In a series circuit, a common current flows through all the components of the circuit. While in a parallel circuit, a different amount of current flows through each parallel branch of the circuit.

3.

In the series circuit, different voltage exists across each component in the circuit. Whereas in the parallel circuit, the same voltage exists across the multiple components in the circuit.

4.

A fault in one of the components of the series circuit causes hindrance in the operation of a complete circuit. As against fault in a single component in a parallel network do not hinder the functioning of another part of the circuit.

5.

The detection of a fault in case of a series circuit is difficult, but it is quite easy in parallel circuits.

6.

The equivalent resistance in case of a series circuit is always more than the highest value of resistance in the series connection. While the equivalent resistance in the parallel circuit is always less than any of the individual resistances in parallel combination.
