A series circuit allows only one path for the electron path to follow. This type of circuit is found in something like Christmas tree lights. But a parallel circuit allows the 2 or more path for the electron path to follow. This is primarily used in households. So no, they are not the same electrons because they are two completely different circuits.
Please draw the circuit up as a schematic then write and solve the loop equations, you will have then found the answer for yourself and actually learned somethinginstead of just memorizing "facts" you were told.
Yes, I understand its tedious doing the mathematics to find the answer, but someday when you get a job in the industry you will be glad you had the practice in school and already know how to do the work.
Because each load component in a parallel configuration is connected directly across
the terminals of the power supply.
current is the flow
If two or more circuit components are connected end to end like a daisy chain, it is said they are connected in series. A series circuit is a single path for electric current through all of its components. Bulbs will get dimmer the further along the chain. If two or more circuit components are connected like the rungs of a ladder it is said they are connected in parallel. A parallel circuit is a different path for current through each of its components. A parallel circuit provides the same voltage across all its components and hence the same brightness of bulb.The voltage is the same in a parallel circuit while the voltage is shared in a series circuit.
In series connection current will be same. in parrel connection voltage will be same and current wil be varying
While many of the terminal parts of a circuit may be a series element, in most circuits there will be both series and parallel components. Neither is superior - they both have their appropriate applications.
current
True
No. The current in a series circuit is the same everywhere. The voltage across a parallel circuit is the same.
current remains same in series while divide itself in parallel circuit
In a series circuit the current remains the same throughout the circuit. This is not the case for parallel circuits.
In series circuits current will be the same through out the circuit. So whereever we connect the ammeter the same current is registered. But in parallel circuit current will be different in different lines. In parallel circuits the potential difference will be the same but in series pd will be different.
The current flowing through a series circuit is (voltage between the circuit's ends) / (sum of all resistances in the circuit). The current is the same at every point in the series circuit.
Current flow remains the same throughout the circuit.
-- In a series circuit, no matter where you install the ammeter, it will always read the same current. -- In a parallel circuit, the ammeter may read a different current when it's moved to a different parallel branch.
A parallel circuit has the same voltage but different current in each leg and series circuit has the same current but different voltage on each components unless the same value.
Parallel circuits can have more than one way around the circuit I.e. ______O______ |______O_____| |_____|-______| Series circuits only have one way around the circuit I.e. ______O______ |______|-_____| Key: __ or | = wire O = light |- = battery/cell
The difference between a series and parallel circuit is that a series circuit is connected in such a way that the same current intensity flows through the elements while a parallel circuit is connected in such a way that the same potential appears across their terminals.
A: In a series circuit the current remains the same In a parallel circuit the current may divide to satisfy the branches of the loads,
The answer to this question is that in a parallel circuit there is more that one circuit or form of energy the circuit. In a series circuit there is only one form of energy in that circuit. Hope this helped you and gave you the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 :) if you look at a diagram of a parallel circuit, it looks like a ladder, where as a series circuit diagram looks like a rectangle <><><> "What are the differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?" In a series circuit there is only one path for the electric current to flow. If this path is broken, then the current will no longer flow and all the devices in the circuit will stop working. So if you hook up a bunch of light bulbs together, and one goes out, they all go out, and that can be a problem. In a parallel circuit there is more than one oath for the electric current to pass through. The current continues to flow through the other paths. So if one light bulb goes out of 20 goes out in a parallel circuit, they won't all go out, unlike a series circuit.
