How can a broken wire affect a series circuit differently than a parallel circuit?

In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit. Any break will totally remove power from all of the circuit.Parallel circuits have more than one branch where the current can flow. A broken wire will only affect one part, the rest of the circuit will still pass current.In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit.

When the switch is closed how does the broken wire affect the heating element in circuit A?

If there's a broken wire then the circuit is no longer closed. It's open.


What type of electrical circuit will be broken if a wire breaks?

Current will cease to flow in a series electrical circuit.


How does series circuit travel?

The electricity follows the entire length of the wire. if any part of the circuit is broken, all the electricity stops moving in the circuit.


What is a circuit with a broken wire?

No current will flow though a circuit which is broken.


What factors affect current strength in a series circuit?

The number of resistors and their value. The wire and the junction points have resistance also.


What type of circuit has more than one circuit on a wire a series circuit or a parallel circuit?

A parallel circuit is :)

What type of circuit has more than one resistor on a wire?

The answer is a Series circuit.

Does the power company wire all homes in the neighborhood in series?

No, that would be quite silly of them. If any part of a series circuit is broken at all, the whole system fails. Houses are hooked into the lines in parallel - if a house then blows out its fuses or circuitbeakers, it will not affect the rest of the neighbourhood (apart from slightly raising the average current amongst them).


What are the effects of an open circuit?

The effect of an open circuit is that no current will flow.
