List two of the differences between parallel and series circuits.
Your answer:
1. In a parallel circuit, the components are wired such that they have their own separate paths for the flow of electric current, while in a series circuit, the components are connected end to end, forming a single path for the flow of electric current.
2. In a parallel circuit, the voltage is the same across all components, while the current varies depending on the resistance of each component. In a series circuit, the current is the same throughout, while the voltage varies across each component.
