When additional stops are added to a control circuit should they be connected in series or parallel?
series
Is an ohmmeter connected in series or parallel?
You almost NEVER do. 1) The circuit should be off and/or disconnected when using an ohmmeter. 2) It should be in parallel with the component as far as the rest of the circuit is concerned, but alone in series with the device its measuring.
How do you check dc voltage... series or parallel?
If you are asking how a voltmeter should be connected in a circuit, then the answer is that it should be connected in parallel with the device across which you want to determine the voltage. This applies whether the circuit is d.c. or a.c.
Fuse should be connected to a circuit by parallel?
Fuse is a circuit element which disconnects the electrical current from the mains"supply" feeding the load when a condition of fault "short circuit " occurs. one behaviour of electric current that it flows undivided in circuit elements connected in series and is divided when flows in circuit elements connected in parallel. so in order to protect a circuit fuse MUST be connected in series to cut/disconnect the faulty current in a safe/short time. if u connect a fuse in parallel to a component then u will be shorting that component and the component will not function ;because the fuse is a thin wire with a negligible resistance and electrical current flows in the most easy "less resistive" component. besides a short circuit will happen immediatly because u connectthe supply to the neutral! hope that helps.
How should a ammeter and voltmeter be connected in series?
no. you want to measure across the desired circuit segment. whether you are measuring voltage drop or current.
How should a ammeter and voltmeter be connected in circuit?
Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.
When additional stops are added to a control circuit should they be connected in series or parallel?
series
Can amp meters be connected in series and both read the same?
When connected in series, multiple amp meters in the same circuit should read the same.
Should a Voltmeter always be connected in a series with a component?
Voltmeter should be connected always in parallel to a circuit ANSWER : IT should be in parallel except when used to measure current. Then it should be placed in series across a shunt.

A parallel circuit breaker should be connected in a parallel to the circuit it's protecting?
For a circuit breaker to protect anything, it must be wired in series with whatever it is protecting.
Why should ammeter still be connected in a series despite the fact that the bulbs are already connected in parallel?
Because the ammeter connected in parallel will act as a short circuit.

Why should we not touch the electrical appliance connected in a circuit with wet hands?
We will provide the electrical circuit with a pathway through our body to the ground. The shock could be large enough to kill us, or disrupt the rhythm of our heart beats.
Four inductors each having an inductance of 0.6h are connected in series what is the total inductance of the circuit?
Four (4) 0.6 Henry inductors connected in series should add up to 2.4 Henry. An electrical event passing through one inductor in time "T" will require "4T" to pass through all four inductors. Hence, inductance adds up in a series of inductors connected end to end.
How do you check for amps?
You need to use an ammeter - usually the current setting on a multi-meter. The meter should be connected to the circuit in series.
