Most practical circuits are parallel circuits. A parallel circuit has two advantages: (1) the voltage appearing across each branch is the same as the supply voltage and, (2) on one branch becomes disconnected, then the other branches continue to work. The reason that (1) is important is because for a load to operate at its rated power, it must be subject to its rated voltage which is (usually) the supply voltage. All homes are connected in parallel, as are the various circuits in (for example) a car.
What else can I help you with?
What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
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.
Is the electric circuit in your home a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
Parallel.
What type of circuit are there?
parallel circuit / series circuit / and a short circuit
What type of circuit has more than one circuit on a wire a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit is :)
A circuit that has two or more branches for electrons to follow is a?
parallel circuit.
Would a bedroom be wired using a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit
The multiple paths in this circuit suggest that it is MOST LIKELY a?
parallel circuit.
Each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors yes or no?
No. What you are describing is a series-parallel circuit, not a parallel circuit.
Can each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors?
Yes, but then it would be a 'series-parallel' circuit, not a 'parallel' circuit!
What type of circuit allows part of the circuit to be switched off?
A parallel circuit.
