TROUBLESHOOTINGSERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUITSeries and Parallel Circuit ComparisonsParameterVoltageResistanceCurrentSeries CircuitThe sum of the voltage drops acrossthe individual loads is equal to thesource voltage.The total resistance is equal to thesum of the individual resistances.There is only one path for current toflow.The current at every point in thecircuit is the same.Parallel CircuitThe voltage across each branchis the same as the sourcevoltage.The total resistance is equal tothe reciprocal of the sum of thereciprocals of the individualresistances.There is more than one path forcurrent to flow.The total current is equal to thesum of the branch currents.PowerThe total power consumed is equal to the sum of the powerconsumptions of the individual loads.44
