can some one helpp me????

Alike - they both contain electrical components Different - resistances in parallel circuits are summed differently to resistances in series circuits

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Series circuit: \[R_{total} = \sum_{n}^{} R_n\]Parallel circuit: \[\frac{ 1 }{ R_{total} } = \sum_{n}^{n}\frac{ 1 }{ R_n }\]

If I can, sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I is current, V is voltage and R is resistance. If the resistance decreased then it would follow that the current would increase as you would be dividing the same voltage with a smaller number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The resistance of a material is a its opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms. The amount of current flowing through the light bulb would increase as a result of the voltage increase which would cause it to glow brighter before burning out.

No problem, glad to be of help.
