The difference between series and parallel capacitors is: different composition, different current paths, and different disconnection.
1. Different composition
1. Series connection: Series connection is to connect the components one by one.
2. Parallel connection: Parallel connection consists of connecting components in parallel.
Two, the current path is different
1. Series connection: In the series circuit, since there is only one current path, the current flowing from the positive pole of the power supply will flow through each consumer one by one, and finally return to the negative pole of the power supply.
2. Parallel connection: In a parallel circuit, the current flowing from the positive pole of the power supply is divided into two paths at the branch, and current flows through each path, and finally returns to the negative pole of the power supply.
Three, the disconnection is different
1. Series: In a series circuit, if one consumer is damaged or a certain part is disconnected, the whole circuit will become open, the circuit will have no current, and all the consumers will stop working.
2. Parallel connection: In a parallel circuit, even if one branch is disconnected, the other branch will still form a path with the main circuit. In a parallel circuit, each branch is not involved in each other.
