In a series circuit, all components are connected end-to-end, so the current flows through each component in turn. In a parallel circuit, each component is connected across the same two points in the circuit, so the current is divided between the components.

A capacitor is an electronic component that stores electrical charge. Its main purpose is to temporarily store electrical energy and then release it when needed. Capacitors are often used in circuits that require a temporary electrical charge, such as in filters, timing circuits, and power supplies.
