Detailed explanation-1: -If two or more components are connected in parallel, they have the same difference of potential (voltage) across their ends. The potential differences across the components are the same in magnitude, and they also have identical polarities. The same voltage is applied to all circuit components connected in parallel.
Detailed explanation-2: -A parallel circuit has more than one path for current flow. The number of current paths is determined by the number of load resistors connected in parallel.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a series circuit, the same amount of current flows through all the components placed in it. On the other hand, in parallel circuits, the components are placed in parallel with each other due to which the circuit splits the current flow.
