Why parallel combination is preferred over series combination?

In a parallel circuit (with more than one branch), the current will still flow in the other circuit(s) even if there is a break in one circuit. This is not so with a series circuit, since it does not have branches: if there is a break in the circuit, there is a break in the circuit.


What happens to current in a series circuit?

the current in series will be same..


What happens if there is a break in parallel circuit?

If the break is in either the feeder or return line, the circuit will become open and the circuit will cease to function.


What happens in a series circuit if the resistance is halved?

If you add a second resistor, the resistance of series circuit will increase.


What are disadvantages and advantages for series circuits and parallel circuits?

Basically if there is a break in a parallel circuit then it will continue to work, whereas if there was a break in a series circuit everything will go off.


What happens to the current in the series circuit?

current remains same in series while divide itself in parallel circuit


If there is a break at any point in a series circuit the current will?

not flow


What happens if the track of the current is broken in a series circuit?

In a series circuit, if the current is broken the flow of all electricity stops.


What happens if there is a break in a serious circuit?

A break in an electrical circuit will cause the circuit's load to stop operating.


What happens in a series circuit if a light blows?

The circuit current is interrupted and all the lights will go out.


What happens when a light bulb is broken in a series circuit?

In that case, the entire circuit won't work.


What happens to the total impedance of a series RC ciRCuit as the frequency is increased?

when the frequency is increased the total impedance of a series RC circuit is decrease.
