How is a series circuit different from a parallel circuit?

A series circuit has two or more loops and a parallel has only one loop for the current to flow through.

A series has an open circuit and a parallel circuit has a closed circuit

A series circuit has only one loop and a parallel circuit has two or more loops for the current to flow through

A series circuit has a closed circuit and a parallel circuit has an open circuit.

C. A series circuit has only one loop and a parallel circuit has two or more loops for the current to flow through

Explanation:

A circuit that are made of one loop is called series circuit. On the other hand, the parallel circuit has at least two loops. The circuit type has nothing to do with open or closed circuit.

If any part of the series circuit got cut, the current will stop flowing since there is only one loop. A parallel circuit has more loop so the circuit might still work even if a part of the circuit got cut.
