Is wiring in your house a parallel or series circuit?
Houshold circuits, like all non-trivial circuits, are wired in series-parallel. Switches are in series with loads. Loads, and switches with loads as combined units, are in parallel with each other.
What happens when you add sucrose to water and ethanol?
It goes all funny and wired
When checking the resistance of a heating element the meter shows 10.5 ohm Also from each end of the element to the ground shows 5 ohm This means that the element is?
Short circuit to ground. The element is not safe to use and when properly wired, will cause the fuse to blow. Without the earth wire it will be dangerous and the chassis will be at mains potential! The element is intact, but the insulation has broken down to earth.
What does earth return mean?
Earth return refers to the "ground" connection, which for a car or truck means the body. The battery negative wire is connected to the frame and body of the car/truck, and provides the "return" needed to complete the electrical circuit for all elcetrical devices. Only the positive electrical wire is required to be run for any device on a car, with the negative wire simply being hooked up to the frame or body. Most trucks are wired the same way, with some exceptions.
Which is the best describes a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit has more than one resistor (anything that uses electricity to do work) and gets its name from having multiple (parallel) paths to move along . Charges can move through any of several paths. If one of the items in the circuit is broken then no charge will move through that path, but other paths will continue to have charges flow through them. Parallel circuits are found in most household electrical wiring. This is done so that lights don't stop working just because you turned your TV off.Below is an animation of a parallel circuit where electrical energy is shown as gravitational potential energy (GPE). The greater the change in height, the more energy is used or the more work is done.The following rules apply to a parallel circuit:The potential drops of each branch equals the potential rise of the source.The total current is equal to the sum of the currents in the branches.The inverse of the total resistance of the circuit (also called effective resistance) is equal to the sum of the inverses of the individual resistances. One important thing to notice from this last equation is that the more branches you add to a parallel circuit (the more things you plug in) the lower the total resistance becomes. Remember that as the total resistance decreases, the total current increases. So, the more things you plug in, the more current has to flow through the wiring in the wall. That's why plugging too many things in to one electrical outlet can create a real fire hazard.
How do you wire two bulbs for one switch?
The two bulbs will be wired in parallel with each other. The switch will be wired into the circuit upstream of the bulbs.
How must an electrical switch be wired to function with a device?
So that when the switch is in the open position the circuit is open and electricity cannot complete the circuit. When the switch is closed it completes the circuit and electricity flows completing the circuit and powering the device.
If you have a light and one switch that controls it what are the light and the switch wired in?
A light controlled by a switch are necessarily wired in "series", meaning that the electricity must pass through all components if the circuit is to operate correctly, assuming you actually have a source of electricity wired in as well.
When cells and batteries are wired together in parallel?
The voltage stays the same as a single battery but the amperage multiplies by the number of batteries in the circuit. Example: Three 12 volt batteries with a CCA or 300 amps each wired together in parallel will produce 12 volts and 900 CCA.
How are safety switches wired to the holding coil?
In control circuit wiring the safety switch is in series with the holding coil.
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 is a compound circuit?
a compound circuit involves a source a switch and 3+ loads. two of the loads are wired in parallel with a single load connected to the source and top or bottom of the two parallels.

Do gamecube controllers have internal batteries?
Gamecube controllers that are licensed by Nintendo are wired and do not have batteries
How does the voltage of a double battery compare to the voltage of a single battery?
The voltage depends on how the two batteries are connected to one another. If they are connected in a series circuit (positive end to negative end) the voltage will double. If they are wired in a parallel circuit, (It
Is a stop switch wired in series?
A stop switch is wired in series with the power supply and the load.
What is a circuit that is wired in one direct pathway?
A series circuit/
