What is a circuit?
A roughly circular line, linking electrical components with wire

Difference between series and parallel

Series -is in a line. A series circuit is a circuit in which resistors are arranged in a chain, so the current has only one path to take.

Parallel -Facing each other . A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through, where the components are parallel to each other.

What is Voltage? An electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts.

How is it different in Parallel vs series?- In a series circuit, the sum of the voltages consumed by each individual resistance is equal to the source voltage, 
In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same,
