Is it true that parallel circuits and series circuits have no similarity?

No. It is true they are not the same, which is completely different than saying they share nothing in common. An apple and an orange are not the same, but they are similar in that they are both fruit, grow on trees, need sunlight to grow, are generally considered good breakfast juices, etc.

Most flashlights have series circuits true or false?
Yes. Most flashlights have a series circuit involving a battery, a switch, and a bulb. More complex variants might have two bulbs in parallel, two or more bulbs on two switches, etc. but the basic principle is a series circuit - turn the switch on and the bulb illuminates.
What is true about the sum of the voltages across the components in a circuit compared to the voltage of the cell?
voltage is devided only in series circuit and is the same at the parallel circuit
Why parallel connection is preferable to use than the series connection in making decorative Christmas light?
Parallel connection is preferable to use than the series connection in making ofdecorative Christmas light because in parallel, the light bulbs are going to havethe same voltage at their terminals leading to the same brightness while for theseries connection, the light bulbs are going to witness a drop in voltage makingsome of the bulbs to dim in effect.============================Answer #2:True, true. All true. But the MAJOR inconvenience associated with a series circuitis the fact that if ONE SINGLE light burns out, then they ALL go dark, and youhave no easy way of identifying the one that failed.
Why RC circuit is preferred over RL circuit in waveshaping?
There is no true advantage of RC circuits over RL circuits, as they perform different functions. RC circuits contain resistors and capacitors, while RL circuits contain resistors and inductors.
If each lamp is rated 12v 24w what is the current consumed by each lamp?
2 amperes in a parallel circuit. I = W/V. It is true provided that 12v are delivered to the lamps in parallel circuit. In a series circuit, the voltage is divided among the lamps so that the total current is probably 2 amperes for all lamps.
Do most flashlights have series circuits?
true
Is true or false circuits in a home are rarely wired in parallel?
False
Which of the statements concerning parallel circuits is NOT true?
D. The total resistance is equal to the lowest resistance in the circuit
Most flashlights have series circuits true or false?
Yes. Most flashlights have a series circuit involving a battery, a switch, and a bulb. More complex variants might have two bulbs in parallel, two or more bulbs on two switches, etc. but the basic principle is a series circuit - turn the switch on and the bulb illuminates.
Is it true that a parallel circuit has more than one pathway unlike a series circuit?
yes
Does a battery operated toy have a parallel circuit?
Yes, a battery operated toy has a parallel circuit - the battery is in parallel with the toy. In fact, this is true for any system where there is a single equivalent source and a single equivalent load. While it is true that this is also a series circuit, by Kirchoff's current and voltage laws a simple series circuit is also a simple parallel circuit.
The series of mountain ranges that run parallel to the pacific coastline from California to Alaska are the sierra madre and cascade range true or false?
true .
Why are parallel circuits rather than series circuits used in house wiring?
Loads receive current independently of each other.
Is it true that computers electric circuits rarely fail an the data flows along this circuits at close to the speed of light processing can be accomplished in billionths of a second?
True
What is true about the sum of the voltages across the components in a circuit compared to the voltage of the cell?
voltage is devided only in series circuit and is the same at the parallel circuit
When referring to electrical circuits having continuity means there is an unbroken circuit?
true
