| Difference between Series and Parallel Combination
| | Series Combination | Parallel Combination |
| 1. | Resistors are said to be connected in series when they are connected end to end consecutively. | Resistors are said to be connected in parallel when each of them is connected between the two common points. |
| 2. | In this case there is only one path for the flow of current. | In this case there are multiple paths for the flow of current. |
| 3. | In this case same amount of current flows
through each resistor. | In this case variable amount of current flows through each resistor. |
| 4. | The Total voltage battery is equal to the
Sum of potential difference across the individual resistances. | In this case potential difference across each of the resistances is same and is equal to the potential difference of the battery V. |
| 5. | In this ease combined resistance of all the
Resistors can be obtained h adding the individual resistors. | In this case reciprocal of equivalent resistance can be obtained by adding the reciprocals of the individual resistors. |
