  • In a 'series' connection the components are connected end-to-end in a line to form a single path for electrons to flow
  • Therefore the current does not change in a series combination of resistors.
  • However as the resistance of the resistors connected in series combination often have different values, the voltage or the potential difference acting on each of those resistors also varies.

 

 

          

  • In a 'parallel' connection, all the components are connected across each other's leads.
  • In simpler words, the corresponding ends of the resistors are connected together along the same end.
  • This creates many paths for electrons to flow, and this is why the current in parallel varies in each path.
  • But, the parallel combination of resistors has only one voltage across all components, thus maintaining same voltage across the circuit.
