One difference between a series and a parallel inverter is that series inverters are connected one after another. Whereas, parallel converters are only connected individually. Another difference between the two is that series inverters are used in small sub servers, whereas, parallel inverters are used in main servers.

The outlets in your house are in parallel with each other. If your question is is your TV in series with something else plugged into your house, it is not, it is in parallel (since your house wiring is in parallel). The giveaway for series or parallel circuits is if you remove one element in a series circuit, you will kill all other elements. In a parallel circuit, there shouldn't be a noticeable difference. For example, if you have a surge protector plugged into your wall, and a lamp plugged into your wall, and your TV and DVD player are plugged into the surge protector: The surge protector is in SERIES with your TV and DVD player The surge protector is in PARALLEL with your lamp The DVD player and TV are in PARALLEL
yes. a parallel circuit is made up of many series curcuits. so therefore, without the series curcuit you could not have a parallel curcuit.
The Series circuit is a single path for current flow. like Christmas tree lights, one part of the path is obstructed (a light that's bunt out ) they all go out. Parallel circuits have more than one path for the current flow, so if one path is obstucted, the current can take another path (like rungs of a ladder )
An ideal voltmeter has infinite impedance(resistance). If you were to break the circuit and put it in series and try to make a measurement, it is easy to see that the circuit would act completely differently and your measurement would be wrong. An ideal ammeter is always connected in series because it has 0 resistance, so all of the current would flow through it, and not through the wire that you are trying to measure the current of.A better answer though is to think about what you are trying to measure. When you say something is 3 Volts, that is a difference between the voltages at two different points. If you want to see what the voltage drop across a resistor is, for example, you need to put one probe of the voltmeter on one side of the resistor and the other probe on the other side of the resistor. That setup is simply called being in parallel.Voltage is potential difference between two points, hence measured across or in parallel, where as current is measured in series since current flows (*)
resistor isdefined as the opposing the current flow in a circuit. capacitor is defined as the store the electric field in one forth of the cycle and the another quarter cycle stored energy will be released
