A series circuit has only one path for the current to flow through, whereas a parallel circuit has multiple paths.
A series circuit has only one path for the current to flow through, whereas a parallel circuit has multiple paths.
The correct option is A True
In the series connection, resistors are connected one after other as shown in the figure. Here one end of the resistor R1 is connected to point A and another end to resistor R2. Likewise, resistors R2 and R3 are connected in series. In this case, the number of paths for the current is 1, as the current has to flow through all the resistors.
In the parallel connection, the resistors are connected in parallel to each other as shown in the figure. The main current (I) from the source divides itself into different arms at point A. The less resistant arm allows more current and more resistant arm allows less current to flow through. Hence, a parallel circuit has multiple paths for the current to flow through.
