:⟹ In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component.

\pink:\implies:⟹ In a series circuit, every device must function for the circuit to be complete. If one bulb burns out in a series circuit, the entire circuit is broken
