Electric Circuit, Resistors in Series and Resistors in Parallel

Electric Circuit
Any closed path through which an electric current can flow is called on Electric Circuit.

Resistors in Series
A number of resistors are said to be connected in series if they are connected end to end consecutively. So that there is only one path to the flow of current and the same current flows through each of the resistor.

Resistors in Parallel
Resistors are said to be connected in parallel when each one of them is connected between the common two points. The same potential difference acts across each of the resistor but the total current is divided among the resistors connected in parallel accordingly.
