an example would be thus. if you had say 2 1.5 volt batteries each say .006 amps. When these batteries are in series the positive end of one is in contact with negative end of the other, pretty much like a common flashlight, and the voltage would be 3 volts., .006 amps. When the same two batteries are connected negative to negative and positive to positive the voltage would still be 1.5 volts but the amperage would be .012 amps. (amps doubled when in parallel, voltage doubled when in series)

∙ 14y agoEach branch of the parallel circuit will divide the current so that the sum of the currents in each branch will equal the input current.
The voltage on each branch of a parallel circuit will have the same voltage drop across it.

What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
What are the names of the different kinds of circuits?
there are 2Series circuits and parallel circuitsFurther AnswerThere are, in fact, four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex. 'Complex' includes any circuit that's not one of the other three.Series and Parallel
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
Which circuit has different parts of the circuit on separate branches?
Any circuit that even has more than one branch is a parallel one.
Would a bedroom be wired using a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
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.

If I have a circuit with four lamps each lamp is individually connected across the circuit so that the same current is not flowing through each lamp What type of circuit is this?
Parallel Parallel
What is a parallel series?
There are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.As its name suggests, a 'series-parallel' circuit is a combination of both series and parallel elements.
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
Which circuit has different parts of the circuit on separate branches?
Any circuit that even has more than one branch is a parallel one.
What are the three types of circuit's?
the three types of circuits are series, parallel, and series-parallel.AnswerThere are, in fact, four types or categories of circuit, not three! These are series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.The term 'complex' is somewhat misleading, because a 'complex circuit' is not necessarily complicated (although they often are!) but merely the collective name for any circuit that isn't series, parallel, or series-parallel. A simple example of a complex circuit is a bridge circuit, such as Wheatstone's Bridge.
What are characteristics of a parallelogram?
A parallelogram has four sides and 2 pairs of parallel sides.
Is the electric circuit in your home a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
Parallel.
Which circuit would have the highest voltage series or parellel?
There's no correspoindence, correlation, or connection between those characteristics. A series circuit or a parallel circuit may have high or low voltages.
What is the total resistance of a parallel circuit with four 20-ohm resisters?
5 ohms
