An electric circuit is classified into types:
In this type of a circuit, all components are connected as a chain and the current following through each of them is the same all over the circuit. There is a single route through which the current flows. So, the current passes through each and every component .Opening or breaking any point of a series circuit causes the whole circuit to stop functioning which then needs to be replaced. The following image represents a series circuit :
- Sries circuit
- Parallel circuit

Parallel Circuit
In this type of a circuit, two or more components are connected in a parallel manner. In a parallel circuit, the components are of the same voltage. The current flow varies across the components.If any point of the circuit gets damaged, only that part needs to be replaced.
The following image represents a parallel circuit :
