Does a key or reed switch have a symbol which could be put in a circuit diagram?
yes
Describe how a series circuit is put together?
A series circuit has more than one resistor and gets its name from only having one path for the charges to move along. Charges must move in "series" first going to one resistor then the next. If one of the items in the circuit is broken then no charge will move through the circuit because there is only one path. There is no alternative route. Old style electric holiday lights were often wired in series. If one bulb burned out, the whole string of lights went off.
How could you make a circuit switch out of a paper clip and 2 nails?
you put 2 holes in a cardboard box. Next, you put the nails into the holes, and finally, place the paperclip in between the 2 nails, connecting.
What happens to the brightness of the bulb When you put a dimmer switch in your series circuit and turn it up?
I'm not sure what you mean by turning a dimmer switch "up".-- When the dimming action of the device is turned 'up', the bulbbecomes more dim, that is, less bright.-- The dimmer may have an arrow printed on its control, labeled 'brighter'.In that case, when you turn the control in the direction of the arrow,the light becomes brighter, i.e. less dim.
Do empty sockets use energy when left switched on?
No. You can think of the lamp (or whatever you put into the socket) as one more switch in parallel - if it is taken away, no current can pass through the circuit.
Where do you put a switch in a series circuit?
From the standpoint of basic functionality, you can put the switch anywhere. In a series circuit, there is only one path for current flow. If you open the switch, you interrupt that pathway and turn the circuit "off."There may be practical reasons to put the switch in one place or another, however. Sometimes it's put in a particular place in the circuit for manufacturing reasons. In other circuits, safety may dictate that you put the switch in a particular place: in a ground-referenced circuit for example, you may want to put the switch so that one side is at the ground point.
Where do you put the switch in a parallel circuit?
Switches used in electrical circuits are wired in series with either a parallel or series load. In parallel loads, the switch is upstream from the parallel circuit, so that the switch will shut off all of the parallel circuits.
What can be put into a circuit to open the circuit?
A switch.
Where is the best place to put an ammeter in the circuit to measure the current going through the light bulb?
Since (by Kirchoff's current law) the current in a series circuit is the same at every point in the series circuit, it does not matter where you place the ammeter.
Where do you put your leads when checking continuity on a series circuit?
When checking continuity in a series circuit, you put your leads in series with the circuit or device being checked. You also make sure the circuit is deenergized and that it is open.
Where would you put an ammeter in a circuit?
in a series circuit or it will not work. Put it after the bulb
How does a switching on and off can be done in a sequence of loght for example in a miniature lighting circuit we put in a marriage function?
switching on the tourch for example is when as you switch it on it will move the switch connecting it to a circuit that lights up the bulb and when you switch the switch off the switch will move breaking the circuit
Where can put the switch to control all the bulbs?
-- If all the bulbs are in series, then the switch can be at any pointin the series ring, and it will control them all.-- If any bulbs are in parallel, then in order to control all of them, theswitch must be between the circuit and one terminal of the battery orpower supply.
Why would you put a fuse on the neutral side of an electrical circuit?
It does not matter what line in (the phase or neutral) is the fuse. In a closed series circuit current in all areas of the circuit is equal. It's best to put the fuses in both wires (phase and neutral) and even better for each individual device in the chain.
Does a key or reed switch have a symbol which could be put in a circuit diagram?
yes
What could you do to a closed circuit consisting of 2 batteries and 2 light bulbs and a switch too increase the current?
The switch will not increase the current. The only thing that will increase the current is adding a larger load.Another AnswerTo maximize current flow in a circuit with 2 Flashlightbatteries, 2 Flashlight bulbs, and a switch, set aside the bulbs, put the batteries in series, connect the switch between the end poles of the battery set, and close the switch. The batteries will get hot and probably leak electrolyte, and be drained in seconds.If you want to maximize current through the circuit withthe bulbs in it, connect the bulbs in parallel to each other, and in series with the switch.
Would a bulb glow if you put a rubber as the switch in a circuit?
because rubber is an insulator
