Series And Parallel Combination. The major difference between series and the. The rules governing these circuits are the same as those developed for series circuits and for parallel circuits.
Let rp be the equivalent resistance of rc and rd in parallel. The voltage or potential difference across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same but the currents may vary. Rather it contains elements of both.
Likewise one connected completely in parallel is known as a parallel circuit.
A circuit composed solely of components connected in series is known as a series circuit. A series circuit comprises a path along which the whole current flows through each component. Likewise one connected completely in parallel is known as a parallel circuit. Many circuits can be analyzed as combination of series and parallel circuits along with other configurations.
