A series connection exists when elements are joined along a single chain. The same current flows through every element in the chain. A parallel connection exists when elements are connected across the same two points in a circuit, with no other components between them. The same voltage exists across each element in a parallel connection. Real-world circuits often utilize a combination of both series and parallel connections.
