Best Answer

Yes. Most flashlights have a series circuit involving a battery, a switch, and a bulb. More complex variants might have two bulbs in parallel, two or more bulbs on two switches, etc. but the basic principle is a series circuit - turn the switch on and the bulb illuminates.

Are the lights in your school connected in series or parallel circuits explain?

Typically they are both. Most are paralleled from the breaker and then serial from each power switch.


What are the two basic types of electric circuits?

There are many different types of circuits, but, in basic electricity, perhaps the two most common types of circuits are parallel and series.A parallel-connected circuit is one in which the current divides into two or more flows with at least one load on each flow, whereas a series circuit has only one flow that passes through two or more consecutive loads. The input voltage to a parallel-connected circuit stays constant - so every branch of the circuit gets the same voltage from the power supply - but there is a different current flowing in each branch dependant on the resistance of the loads in that branch. Overall, no current gets lost because any current entering a particular junction (leading to branches) is always equal to the current leaving that junction.In a series-connected circuit the input current stays constant and the voltage is divided amongst the loads which are connected like links in a chain: each load component (a light, a resistor, etc.) is connected "head to tail" to the next one in the series circuit.A more complete answerActually there are four types of circuit, not two. These are series circuits, parallel circuits, series-parallel circuits, and complex circuits.'Complex circuits' (which are not necessarily complicated) describe any circuit that is not series, parallel, or series-parallel - a Wheatstone Bridge is an example of a complex circuit.The techniques for solving series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits cannot be used for solving complex circuits. Instead, network theorems, such as Thevenin's and Norton's Theorems must be used.


How are ammeters added to circuits?

Ammeters are added in series to the circuit to be monitored.


Why are SCRs connected in series?

they are not always connected in series, yes most are for circuit amplification purposes, but some SCR's are just used as an electronic switch by themselves. An example is copier circuits, they use alot of them in single use applications.

Were could you find a series circuit its for my homework?

Most lighting circuits would have the lights in series with a switch. Some (inexpensive) holiday decoration light strings are in series, so that if one light burns out, they all go out.
