What is a curcuit called that has components in series plus components in parallel?

series-parallel curcuit


How is a parallel curcuit different from a series curcuit?

a parallel circuit is in lines and a series circuit is one circle


Is there a similarity in a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

yes. a parallel circuit is made up of many series curcuits. so therefore, without the series curcuit you could not have a parallel curcuit.


A portable radio a flashlight and a toaster are all examples of what type of circuit?

-- Any kind of radio ... with the possible exception of the simplest 'crystal set' ... comprises both series and parallel circuits. -- A flashlight is a series circuit. (Unless it's a new, modern one, with several LEDs putting out light. Then they're all in parallel.) -- The heaters in a toaster may be in either series or parallel.


Does a flashlight use parallel circuit or series circuit?

Well it can depend on how many bulbs it has etc, but generally it would be a series circuit.

What causes a flashlight to turn on when the button is pushed?

pushing the button changes the circuit from a series circuit to a parallel circuit.


Types of electrical circuit?

Series and parallelImproved AnswerThere are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex. 'Complex' is a 'catch-all', used to describe circuits that are not series, parallel, or series-parallel. An example of a 'complex' circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge circuit.


Why are the batteries of flashlight often arranged in series not in parallel?

Because the cell voltage in series is combined to achieve rated lamp voltage, at the same time ensure sufficient power.


What lasts longer a series circuit or a parallel curcuit?

They will both last for the same amount of time. In both situations all of the battery's power is being used, but in parallel, you can separately control the individual loads that you put on the circuit with switches. Hope that helps

How do you calculate effective resistance of an electronic curcuit?

its the same as normal resistance, so if you wanted to add the resistors when in parallel you would add them by 1/R1 +1/R2=. If they were in series you would simply add.
