Every electrical device plugged into a wall-socket in your house,

as well as every socket with nothing plugged into it, is in parallel

with every other one. The only series-wired electrical devices in

your house are the light-switches.

What is a parallel curcuit?

A parallel circuit is a circuit where there is more than one path of which the flow of current can travel. It is also called a current divider as it divides the current since it splits the path.


How do you use a multimeter?

A multimeter is an instrument used to check for AC or DC voltages, resistance and continuity of electrical components, and small amounts of current in circuits. This instrument will let you check to see if there is voltage present on a circuit.


What is ic fabricationm?

Manufacturing of IC is known as Fabrication of IC.... it is fabricated from silica(sand)... Inside an IC u can see a small silicon sheet where the actual circuits are imprinted by a process... from that small sheet wires are drawn and fabricated into a IC......


Are bipolar transistors a thing of the past?

Bipolar is still much faster and still can drive more devices than cmos. Military continues to use it along with companies like IBM. I think the PS3 uses those processors; the powerpc processors from IBM. The first 3 Pentium chips were BiCMOS in fact. It will always be neededBipolar transistors a thing of the past? Absolutely not! They're everywhere! It's just that a large majority of them are integrated into 1-piece circuits, the so-called integrated circuits. Many, many transistor junctions can be printed on a substrate (along with many other components), and we can end up with some very exotic circuits on a single chip. Just because you can't see 'em doesn't mean they ain't there. Your automobile almost certainly has a number of integrated circuits in it, and most if not all of them have bipolar junction semiconductor devices printed into the circuit. Count on it.


How does the technique for measuring current with DMM differ from measuring voltage?

Well, measuring current with a Digital Multimeter (DMM) requires breaking the circuit and inserting the meter in series to measure the flow of electrons. On the other hand, measuring voltage involves placing the DMM in parallel across the component to measure the potential difference. Both techniques are important for understanding and troubleshooting electrical circuits, and with practice, you'll become more comfortable and confident using your DMM.

How can you determine if circuits are in series or parallel?

Circuits are in series if the components are connected in a single path, and in parallel if they have multiple paths. To determine this, follow the path of the current flow and see if it splits or continues without interruption.

What are some different types of electrical circuits?

Some different types of circuits are:openclosedparallelseriesThere are two types of basic circuits, series and parallel.In series, current stays constant and voltage is divided amongst the resistors.In parallel the voltage stays constant, Every branch of the circuit gets the same voltage from the power supplier, but there is different current in every branch but current doesn't get lost. Current entering a junction(branches) must equal to current out of the junction. Iin =Iout.The third type could be the Series-Parallel Combination, which has some components wired in series and other components in parallel. Solving these circuits requires more complex analysis techniques. See related link.Another AnswerElectrical circuits are generally classified as being: (1) series, (2) parallel, (3) series-parallel, and (4) complex. The term, 'complex' is a category into which any circuit that doesn't fall into the first three categories, is placed.

How is geometry used in your everyday life?

Geometry is used in my everyday life because I see it everyday. Everything I see is practically geometry. There are posters on my classroom wall, there are desks and chairs, tables, and a big nice white board. I guess this is really how I used geometry in my everyday life.
