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)
Would ac or dc be better in lighting circuits in parallel?
Depends on the application. Lights in your house are in parallel with AC and lights in your car are in parallel with DC.
Where are parallel circuits found?
parallel circuits can be used for lots of things.Things such as : . Christmas tree lights False for A+
Electric lights will not come on unless their electrical circuit is a parallel circuit?
No, electric lights come in both parallel and series circuit.
Why are street lights connected in parallel?
street lights are connected in parallel mostly because if any lamp stops glowing but the other lamps continue their glow
What will happen to lights connected in parallel when of the lights is busted?
Nothing will happen to the rest of the lights if they are connected in paralell. If they are connected in series when one light is broken all of the lights go out.
Are the lights in your school connected in series current or parallel current?
Overhead lights are typically connected in parallel. If they were connected in series, then, if one light went out, all of the lights would go out. Think of Christmas lights, they are connected in series. When one of the lights burns out, the whole string of lights goes out.

Are house circuits series or parallel?
Everything in a house is wired in parallel. If you had lights is series when one burns out they would all go out, much like cheap Christmas lights.
Where are parallel circuits used?
Parallel circuits are used when there are many electronics on the same circuit, such as Christmas lights, for example. If they were on a series circuit, if one bulb went out all of them would go out. In your home, parallel circuits allow you to turn any electrical device on or off, independently of the others.
