Parallel circuit

A parallel circuit is is one of the electrical circuits. When you have two light bulbs and you pull one out the other one does work.

Comparing

The parallel and series circuit are similar because.....They both have kinda the same electrical system.

Contrasting

The series and parallel circuits are different because.....If you pull a light bulb out, the other one works. Parallel is different because it is the exact opposite .If you pull one out on parallel both do not work.
