| Series | Parallel |
| The same amount of current flows through all the components | The current flowing through each component combines to form the current flow through the source. |
| In an electrical circuit, components are arranged in a line | In an electrical circuit, components are arranged parallel to each other |
| When resistors are put in a series circuit, the voltage across each resistor is different even though the current flow is the same through all of them. | When resistors are put in a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the resistors is the same. And even the polarities are the same |
| If one component breaks down, the whole circuit will burn out. | Other components will function even if one component breaks down, each has its own independent circuit |
| If Vt is the total voltage then it is equal to V1+V2+V3 | If Vt is the total voltage then it is equal to V1=V2=V3 |
