Q

What are the differences between series and parallel circuits(name 3 different point).

A

Parallel circuits have branches and if there is a gap on one of the branches or at the end of the circuit then the rest of it would work unlike series. On series the voltage is shared around the circuit but on parallel the voltage stays the same on every branch.
