Your battery-powered flashlight is a good example of a DC series circuit. Battery power is DC. The battery is connected to a wire or piece of metal that's connected to a switch that is connected to an incandescent light bulb (resistor/thermistor) which is then connected to another piece of metal or wire which is connected to usually a spring in the end of the flashlight which creates a ground to the negative terminal of the battery.

How are series circuits and parellel circuits alike?
Both take current and energy from the power supply and dissipate power.
Formula for inductance of series circuits?
AnswerInductances add in series, so the formula is simply L=L1+L2. Inductance is handled in the same manner as resistance in serial and parallel circuits.
What two circuits one series and one parallel use light bulbs to provide resistance. Both circuits have the same number of light bulbs?
Series circuit gives higher resistance compared to parallel circuit.
When the output of two 5.6 volts zener diodes circuits are connected in series do you obtain 2x5.611.2 volts?
If you are saying that the Zeners are connected in series, the answer is Yes.
Where are parallel circuits used?
Parallel circuits are used when there are many electronics on the same circuit, such as Christmas lights, for example. If they were on a series circuit, if one bulb went out all of them would go out. In your home, parallel circuits allow you to turn any electrical device on or off, independently of the others.
What are examples of everyday series circuits?
The examples of everyday series circuits are the flashlight that uses batteries to operate. Another example is the Christmas tree lights.
Uses of series circuits?
Cheap Christmas tree lights.
What are the 2 main electrical circuits?
The two basic types of circuits are series and parallel circuits.
What are the types of circuits?
The types of circuits are series and parallel!
What is the name of the circuit that is neither parallel nor series?
FEEDBACK CIRCUITS. In addition to parallel and series circuits, there are also closed and short circuits.
What are the three basic different types of electrical circuits?
In electronics DC stands for direct current. There are three types of circuits in this current. They are the closed, open, and series circuits.
What are the type of circuits used in wiring installation?
The two main types are series and parallel circuits. From these two circuits comes combinations of different series parallel circuits depending on what end results you need.
Who invented series circuits?
your mom did
How do you build a series circuit in your home?
You do not build a series circuit in your home. The only series circuits are the circuits that go through circuit breakers, light switches, and relays. Electrical and electronic devices use internal series circuits but those are the only ones people build. No one builds series circuits for house wiring. Electrical outlets are connected with parallel wiring.
What is the major advantage to using parallel circuits?
They last longer than series circuits.
Why are series-parallel control circuits important in the circuitry used in air-conditioning equipment?
series circuits are used in all safety's in hvac.
What are the 3 kinds of electronic circuits?
The three types of electronic circuits are called closed circuits, open circuits and series circuits. You will often hear these terms when an electrician explains what he is doing.
