Comparison between series circuit and parallel circuit

Series circuit	Parallel circuit
Same current at all point In a series circuit, the current has only one path to flow. The current leaving and returning the source is not lost. Therefore , in a series circuit, the current  is the same at all point, where: I = I1 = I2 = I3  X A                AAA X A  3 A31  11  I1                                   I3                        I2	Different current at different path In a parallel circuit, the current has more than one path to flow. The current from the source split into separate branches. Therefore  I = I1 +I2 + I3                   I                     I     I1    I2        I3 A31  11                                       X A31  11   A31  11 X   X                AAA
