A relay race could be a good model of a series circuit. In any circuit, current flow is the daisy-chaining of electrons from atom to atom.

Explain limitations of the model circuit compared to the actual circuit?

A 'model' simplified circuit is a circuit that performs very closely to a real, usually far more complicated circuit. Model circuits are used to help analyse the behaviour of more complicated circuits. Often, there are various models which make different assumptions about the actual circuit, in many cases offering various degree of simplification. For example, there are several different model circuits that represent a transformer, with the simplest model assuming that the transformer has absolutely no losses whatsoever, and the more complicated models taking into account those losses. Another example of a model circuit is when we represent, for example, an inductor in terms of its inductance and resistance with these quantities being connected in either series or parallel.

How do you draw a circuit diagram of an electric blanket?

The way I have done this with things such as heaters, window defrosters, etc. is to model the heating element as a resistor (or a set of resistors in different parallel and series combinations, based on the layout). The wire used in the electric blanket (the heating elements) should have a specific resistance per length; calculate the length of the different sections, and create a lumped resistive element of this total length.


Can you use Auxiliary contact with circuit breaker?

You need to be more specific. Do you want a contact telling you if a circuit breaker is on? If that is your question, the answer depends on the model of the breaker.

How do you make a battery powered toy that can move has a light and makes a sound?

The parts required for this project can be acquired from your local electronics store. You can buy lights, buzzers and motors, and can usually buy gears as well. If you want more than just a single tone played continuously, you will have to make or buy a circuit to do this. To actually make this toy, you will have to link a motor to the axles. You could run the light and sound off the same circuit, either in series or in parallel, or off a separate circuit. You may want to add a switch to turn it off. Your best bet is to go to an electronics store, and ask if they have a kit which is similar. You could use this as a base model, and add other features on top.


What are advantages of a series circuit?

Series circuits are easy to logically comprehend and SUPER-easy to model mathematically. For example, the total resistance and inductance of a series circuit can be very closely approximated by simply adding up the resistances and inductances of the individual components of the circuit (mutual inductance and temperature dependence throw a slight wrinkle in having this approximation being exact). Also, since all nodes in a series circuit have only one input and one output, we know by Kirchhoff's current law that the current going through the circuit is the same everywhere at any given time.

Would a multimeter connected in parallel as part of the circuit measure current or power consumption or voltage or wattage?

A typical multimeter measures voltage and resistance "in parallel" or current in-line with the circuit. It all depends on the model. 'Multi' means many different modes. Some have more than others. Some multimeters can measure current, but require you to alter the lead configuration and plug into different sockets. If you have the meter set for Current measurement and you put it in parallel instead of series, it will cause a dead short and could damage the meter. (They usually have a fuse inside for protection). Knowing any two of the three parameters you can calculate the third by Ohm's Law: Voltage = Current x Resistance. Knowing Current and Voltage you can calculate power as Volts x Amps = Watts for resistance loads.


How could you calculate the resistance of a circuit?

A variety of techniques can be used. Node-Voltage and Mesh-current (or Loop-current) methods, for example. See related link for examples. If there is a single voltage source in the model, then find the current supplied, and Resistance = Voltage/Current. {R = V/I} You could simulate/ model the circuit on a computer then apply the power profile and a current value will be calculated. Or if you have the circuit working, Place an amp meter into the circuit and measure the current. V/i = resistance.
