What is difference between series and parallel combination?
A Series Circuit can be described as:
A circuit in which:
Only ONE path for current to flow in a closed circuit
Current remains the SAME in all parts of the circuit
Voltage is DIFFERENT across each each component
total power supplied is the sum of powers consumed in each circuit components like: P_Total=P_1+P_2+…
AND
A Parallel Circuit can be described as:
A circuit in which:
Current is DIFFERENT through each component of the circuit (according to their resistance values)
Voltage remains the same across each component of the circuit
total power supplied is the sum of powers consumed in each circuit components like: P_Total=P_1+P_2+…
What is difference between series and parallel combination?
In a series circuit,,, the current through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each component...
In a parallel circuit,,, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents through each component...
