I saw a definition of a parallel circuit as a circuit with more than one path for current to flow. Is that the definition that's accepted? It seems like a good definition to me, but does that mean this circuit:
is series because the current doesn't flow through the voltmeter (in theory)?
The definition is quite good because this circuit:
I would say is a series circuit and the definition works for that, but I don't see much of a difference between the two circuits, so if the second one is a series circuit is the first one also series?
Edit, for clarity - The question:
What is the definition of a parallel circuit and does that make the first circuit (with the voltmeter) a series or parallel circuit?
