Normally I would expect the elements to be wired in parallel so that the loss of one element does not cause the others not to work. It is possible for some manufacturers to wire a pair of elements in series so that they could use say 110v elements as standard so that they can be utilized on 230v toasters as well.

What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?
series circuit
Would a bedroom be wired using a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit
What is another name for a series -parallel circuit?
series other name current series and parallel is voltage

A portable radio a flashlight and a toaster are all examples of what type of circuit?
-- Any kind of radio ... with the possible exception of the simplest 'crystal set' ... comprises both series and parallel circuits. -- A flashlight is a series circuit. (Unless it's a new, modern one, with several LEDs putting out light. Then they're all in parallel.) -- The heaters in a toaster may be in either series or parallel.

What type of circuit are there?
parallel circuit / series circuit / and a short circuit
Types of electrical circuit?
Series and parallelImproved AnswerThere are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex. 'Complex' is a 'catch-all', used to describe circuits that are not series, parallel, or series-parallel. An example of a 'complex' circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge circuit.
Is the electric circuit in your home a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
Parallel.
What is a parallel series?
There are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.As its name suggests, a 'series-parallel' circuit is a combination of both series and parallel elements.
Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?
series circuit
Is series parallel the same as parallel?
No, series parallel, as it implies has components of the circuit configured in both series and parallel. This is typically done to achieve a desired resistance in the circuit. A parallel circuit is a circuit that only has the components hooked in parallel, which would result in a lower total resistance in the circuit than if the components were hooked up in a series parallel configuration.
Would a bedroom be wired using a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit
Is there a similarity in a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
yes. a parallel circuit is made up of many series curcuits. so therefore, without the series curcuit you could not have a parallel curcuit.
