If one motor shuts down due to mechanical failure or if it is turned off, the other will continue running as the circuit is not broken.

IN SERIES, if one of the motors breaks down, the circuit will be broken and neither motor will run. IN PARALLEL, if one motor shuts down due to mechanical failure or if it is turned off, the other will continue running as the circuit is not broken. The only consequence of having two motor in series is it will run faster than the other as the power will not be evenly distributed between both motors because the internal resistances will differ as a result of living in an imperfect world.

The multiple turns connected together would lower the resistance of the motor, causing it to draw excess current, overheat; possibly locking the rotor, and may burn the windings out.

How much electrical resistance would you expect an ohmmeter to indicate if it were connected across the combination of these two series connected resistors of 3.3 kilowatt ohms and 3.3 kilowatt ohms?

It would be the sum of the two resistances, as they are connected in series.

If you are saying that the Zeners are connected in series, the answer is Yes.


Two similar capacitors are first connected in parallel and then in series what is the ratio in the two cases?

Two similar (non-polarized) capacitors connected in parallel will have double the capacitance of one, while two similar capacitors connected in series will have half the capacitance of one, so the ratio is four.


What is the total inductance of two inductors connected in series?

Inductance in series is the sum of the individual inductances.


What is two batteries in a circuit called?

If the batteries are connected from + (positive) to - (negative) then the batteries are connected in "series". If the batteries are AA (1.5v each), then the resulting voltage of the two connected in series will be 3.0v. If the batteries are connected + to + and - to -, then they are connected in "parallel" and for the same batteries the voltage would be 1.5v, but would last twice as long as one battery by itself. A truck battery system is two 12v batteries connected in series (+ to -) to give the truck a running power of 24v.
