Question

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

Answer 1

In any circuit when the resistors are combined in series the equivalent resistance becomes more thus the current through the circuit gets reduced.

While when the resistors are combined in parallel then the equivalent resistance is very less then the current through the circuit becomes more..

In case of series combination the current through each element is same and voltage is divided, and in case of parallel combination voltage is Same in all elements and the current is divided.
