An example series circuit might be what?
A voltage or current source in series with a circuit breaker or fuse in series with a switch in series with a light bulb.
What does Thevenin's equivalent circuit consists?
The Thevenin's equivalent circuit consist of a voltage source in series with a resistor.
What is the effect of a series circuit?
multiplies source voltage, two 12v dc batteries in series become a 24v circuit; also multiplies resistence
Can the total of the voltage drop across the loads of a series circuit ever exceed the total of the source voltages applied to that circuit?
no
Why is voltage constant in parallel dc circuit?
depend on the R value(s) because V Source = Sum of individual voltage across each R in the series so if R in the series are equal value, then their V are the same and their V total will be equal of the V Source

Is the total voltage drop around a series circuit equal to the voltage of the battery?
No. The total voltage drop around a series circuit, per Kirchhoff's voltage law, is zero. However, it is true that the total voltage drop of all of the components except the battery is equal and opposite to the voltage drop of the battery.AnswerInterestingly, the formal definition of electromotive force is based on Kirchhoff's Voltage Law: 'A source's electromotive force is equal to the sum of all the voltage drops around a closed loop, including the source's internal voltage drop'.Expressed as per the original answer, we could also say; 'The algebraic sum of a circuit's electromotive force and voltage drops, including the source's internal voltage drop, is zero'.
Does voltage add in a series circuit?
The voltage between the ends of the circuit doesn't change ... that's where the power source is connected. But when you add more items in a series circuit, the voltage across each item changes. The individual voltages across each item in the series circuit always add up to the voltage of the power source. So in general, if you add more items, the voltage across each of the original ones must drop somewhat.
What happens to the voltage across the voltage source as more light bulbs are added in a series circuit?
Nothing.
What does Thevenin's equivalent circuit consists?
The Thevenin's equivalent circuit consist of a voltage source in series with a resistor.
What cause a series circuit to work and not work?
A series circuit will work if there is a closed path through which the current can pass, and a voltage source. Otherwise it won't.

When a circuit consists of a capacitor and a resistor in series with a voltage source and the voltage across the resistor becomes zero then the capacitor is?
fully charged.
Why are most homes wired in a parallel circuit rathen than a series circuit?
Series circuits , the voltage is drawn by instruments progressively from source to end whereas parallel circuits give a constant voltage through all the points connected parallel to the source hence the name.In series circuit,the more the power drawn by an instrument,the lesser the voltage available for the next instrument connected after it serially from the source. Hope this solves the question
How will you convert a open current circuit to a open voltage circuit?
The first thing you need to know is the internal resistance of the current source, the voltage source will have the same internal resistance. Then compute the open circuit voltage of the current source, this will be the voltage of the voltage source. You are now done.
