What is the equivalent resistance if six 18 kOhm resistors are connected in 1. series 2. parallel as was asked by Mackey90 on 8 December 2008?
6 separate 18kOhm resistors wired in series make a total resistance of:18k+18k+18k+18k+18k+18k which is 108 kOhm.6 separate 18kOhm resistors wired in parallel make a total resistance of:1/[(1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k)] which is 3 kOhm.
How are series circuits and parallel circuits?
A parallel circuit is used in a strand of Christmas lights so that if one bulb goes out, the rest don't. A parallel circuit is also used in circuit breakers of houses. A series circuit is used in a flashlight. Everything follows one path.
How do you reduce induced voltage in control cables?
You can reduce induced voltage in control cable by applying the following methods. 1. While laying control cable keep a minimum distance 300mm from the power cable. 2. If possible try to lay control cable on the separate cable tray. 3. Earth the Armour/ screen of the control cable on both side of the cable or at-least at one side. Some times it is not important to reduce the the induced voltage in control cable, but it's effect on relay or contactor as the contactor or relay does not pick-down even after the removal of the control supply. In that case it is recommended to use two relay/contactor in parallel and use the contacts in series or parallel for control circuit interlocking.
Do generators have brushes?
Most do, but not all. Some have a separate exciter winding.
Can you use one length of 3-wire cable to provide electricity to 2 separate circuits?
In countries that use a single phase split secondary service you can. In modern homes this is the type of circuitry that is used for kitchen split receptacles. On the receptacle the tie bar is removed from the "hot" side of the receptacle. A red wire of the three wire cable is placed on the upper terminal of the receptacle. A black wire of the three wire cable is placed on the lower terminal of the receptacle. The white wire is placed on the opposite side of the receptacle under the silver coloured screw. This will give you a full 15 amps capacity on the top portion of the receptacle and a full 15 amp capacity on the bottom half of the receptacle.
Which circuit has different parts of the circuit on separate branches?
Any circuit that even has more than one branch is a parallel one.
Would parallel is cool but don't know what it is?
Parallel means two separate lines in the same direction.
What is the purpose of the 38th parallel?
to separate north and south Korea
A circuit with a separate path for each appliance is a?

If the different parts of an electric circuit are found on separate branches of the circuit then what is that circuit called?
parallel
How is skew lines are different from parallel lines?
Skew lines are lines that lie on separate planes. and do not intercept parallel lines that are sometimes on the same plane, but don't intersect
What does a frame-ground circuit use as a return wire?
a separate high capacity wire
One that has two of more branches for separate current from one voltage source?
That's a Parallel circuit.
What does it mean when a processor can process in parallel?
That means a multi core processor is using it's separate processors to individually
What is parallel electricity?
i shocking sign of tunderAnswerThere is no such thing as 'parallel electricity'; you are probably thinking about 'parallel circuits'?A parallel circuit is one in which invidual loads are arranged in separate 'branches', with each branch subject to a common supply voltage. The individual branch currents may be added in order to determine the supply current.
2 trains are moving with a great speed parallel to each other . They are on separate tracks side by side. Are their chances that they will collide?
By definition, if they are parallel to each other, they will never collide, so the chance is zero.
Does a parallelogram have parallel and perpendicular sides?
By definition, a parallelogram two separate pairs has parallel sides. The only type of parallelogram that has perpendicular sides is a rectangle. All others have non-perpendicular sides.
