Compare and contrast a series and parallel circuit. Give at least one way that they are alike and one way that they are different

A parallel circuit has multiple paths from the energy source to the resistors (e. x., lightbulbs). If one bulb was to burn out, the rest would stay on, unlike a series circuit. If one bulb was to burn out, the circuit is no longer fully connected because there is only one path from the energy source to the resistors. But, despite these differences, they are similar in the way that they do have paths from the energy source to the resistors.
