Connecting componets in series simply means they are connected one after another in one long line
In series with the circuit and never in parallel. The reason being that it will cause the circuit total resistance to drop which will make the circuit draw excessive current. That's a short circuit actually.
Parallel connections will draw more current than equivalent lights connected in series, so the parallel configuration will be brighter.
- Mark two points on your paper, a few inches apart. - Draw the symbol for a battery or power supply that is connected to the two points. - Draw the symbol for an electronic component, such as a capacitor, resistor, light bulb, photocell, thyristor, thermistor etc., that is connected to the same two points. - Draw the symbol for ANOTHER electronic component that is also connected to the same two points. - Now you have the diagram of a circuit with a power supply and two components all in parallel.
--------------[res 1---]------------|-----------------|| | || [res 2] [res 3]| | || | |--------------------------------------------------------res 1 is in series with a parallel connection of res 2 and 3. This is just one example.
The amperage on a circuit is governed by the connected load. If a load changes its current draw it can be detected by an amp meter connected to the circuit.
Because the components are much more detailed and difficult to draw in real life
circuit breaker and fuses used in series to break the circuit in overcurrent situation to block current to flow through circuit.
A ammeter will tell you how much current draw the load is drawing
a Block Diagram usually means that you draw the main components of a circuit/system with boxes *pretend / means in a box -/amplifier/-->/Analog to Digital Convertor/-->/Output/ a Block Diagram usually means that you draw the main components of a circuit/system with boxes *pretend / means in a box -/amplifier/-->/Analog to Digital Convertor/-->/Output/
12 Amperes is.
When you are wiring two light bulbs in SERIES, you split the voltage to each light bulb in HALF, meaning that it will only glow half the brightness per bulb, but it will only draw the current of one bulb, meaning if the bulbs were connected to a battery, it would last longer to connect them together in series, rather than parallel.
In electronics circuits current is common in series circuits and voltage is common across parallel circuits. LEDs in series draw less current, but require more voltage. Total power remains the same until multiple drivers are introduced in a parallel configuration.
