Circuits in all buildings are connected in parallel so that the loads connected in each 'branch' are all subject to the same (supply) voltage, enabling them to operate at their rated powers. A secondary advantage is that, with a parallel circuit, if one branch fails, then all the other branches will continue to operate normally.

What is the formula to find out the total resistace of the series parellel circuit?

i think first one should find out the series resistance that is R1+R2+R3 and after that parellel resistance that is 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3 and after that add the series resistance and parellel resistance to get the total resistance


What is the amp on a 2 12 volt batteries connected in series?

Series: Double the voltage of one of the batteries if they are the exact same size. Amps stay the same as one of the batteries. Parellel: Double the amps and voltage stays the same as one battery.


Which is better for making Christmas lights a series circuit or a parellel circuit?

Yes


Would it be possible to use a series of dry cells to start a motor car instead of a motor car battery?

Highly unlikely. You could not generate enough amperage to start the engine. Of course with enough batteries connected together in series & parellel it is possible but not practical.


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)


Why should Christmas lights be parellel not series?

Because if one light burns out, all the lights will go out.


How is the brightness of the lightness of the lights related to whether you connect the bulbs in series or in parellel?

For a lamp to operate at its rated power, it must be subjected to its rated voltage. Provided this is the case, then it doesn't matter whether lamps are connected in series or in parallel. For example, ten identical lamps, each rated at 12 V, will operate normally if connected in series across a 120-V supply (this is because they will each be subjected to a voltage drop of 12 V). They will also function normally if they are connected in parallel across a 12-V supply.


How are series circuits and parellel circuits alike?

Both take current and energy from the power supply and dissipate power.
