A series circuit is
a circuit where resistors are arranged in a line, so the current has only one
path to take. The current is the same through each resistor. The total
resistance of the circuit is found by adding up the resistance values of the
individual resistors. The resistance of a series can be found with the
equation:
R = (Individual Resistors
resistance).
A parallel circuit
is a circuit where the resistors are arranged with one group of ends connected
together, and the opposite ends connected together. The current in a parallel
circuit breaks up, with some flowing along each parallel branch and
re-combining when the branches meet again. The voltage across each resistor in
parallel is the same. The resistance of a parallel can be found with the equation:
1/R = 1/ R1 + 1/R2 +(other
resistors).

The picture above is a flashlight. There are two batteries in
it, arranged in a series. This means current only has one path through the
batteries.
