What is the name of a series circuit?
An electric circuit connected so that current passes through each circuit element in turn without branching.
What electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit?
which electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit
Are the circuits at homes connected in series or parallel and why?
They're connected in parallel, this is so that everything connected to the circuits will receive the same voltage. Also, if everything was connected in series, if one of the components died, everything would be dead (think of christmas lights)
What is your observation of the current in series circuit?
The current in a series circuit will be directly proportional to the voltage applied to the circuit, and inversely proportional to the resistance in it. Additionally, there will be one and only one path for that current, as it is a series circuit. All the current in the circuit will have to pass through each each element of the circuit. The current will all flow in one direction in a DC circuit; current is unidirectional. And will flow "back and forth" in an AC circuit, or will alternate directions, as one might expect.
Give the characteristics of a parallel circuit?
-- The voltage across every circuit element is the same, and is equal to the power supply voltage. -- The current through each circuit element is in inverse proportion to its impedance. -- The sum of the currents through all circuit elements is equal to the power supply current.
What is the name of a series circuit?
An electric circuit connected so that current passes through each circuit element in turn without branching.
What is the difference in parallel circuit and series circuit?
In a series type circuit, the electric current passes through each element of the circuit (light bulb or whatever) in sequence; it does not reach any element until it has first passed through all the earlier elements. In a parallel type circuit, every element of the circuit receives its electric current independently. A separate wire connects each element to the source of the current rather than to the previous element of the circuit.
How many Wh of energy is used in a 5 hr. period if an electric heating element is connected to a 110 volt circuit and a current of 3.2 A is flowing thru the elment?
352 Wh
What happens to voltages and currents when there are passive elements connected in series and in parallel?
In a series circuit the current flow in each element is equal but voltage across the each element is differ. In a parallel circuit the voltage across the each element is equal but current flow in each element is differ.
What electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit?
which electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit
What is the iffrence between a series circuit and parallel circuit?
Series circuit: elements are connected one after the other; the current (the electrons, or other charge carriers) has to pass through each of the elements in turn. Parallel circuit: elements are connected in such a way that part of the current will pass through one circuit element, part through the other.
Why ammemeter is attached in series in a circuit?
as the current in a series circuit remains the same so it does not cause any difference if an extra element is connected in between the various elements so an ammeter is always connected in series.
Is the potential difference across an electric circuit with no element drawing current from it the same at every pt?
there should not be any diff.because
Fuse should be connected to a circuit by parallel?
Fuse is a circuit element which disconnects the electrical current from the mains"supply" feeding the load when a condition of fault "short circuit " occurs. one behaviour of electric current that it flows undivided in circuit elements connected in series and is divided when flows in circuit elements connected in parallel. so in order to protect a circuit fuse MUST be connected in series to cut/disconnect the faulty current in a safe/short time. if u connect a fuse in parallel to a component then u will be shorting that component and the component will not function ;because the fuse is a thin wire with a negligible resistance and electrical current flows in the most easy "less resistive" component. besides a short circuit will happen immediatly because u connectthe supply to the neutral! hope that helps.
Why power does not remains same in series circuit?
In a series circuit, the current through each element is the same current. Because the total current must flow through every element. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each element is the same voltage. Because every element is connected individually across the power supply.
What is a passive element in a circuit?
A passive element is an element of the electrical circuit that does not create power, like a capacitor, an inductance, a resistor or a memristor.
Are the circuits at homes connected in series or parallel and why?
They're connected in parallel, this is so that everything connected to the circuits will receive the same voltage. Also, if everything was connected in series, if one of the components died, everything would be dead (think of christmas lights)
