What happens to the current of R1 connected in series with R2 when it is also connected in parallel with R3?

The current, if connected to a voltage source that can supply the needed current to (R1+R2) R3, will be unchanged.
If the source cannot supply the needed current, the terminal voltage will decrease, which will change the current flowing through R1 and R2.

Are devices of home connected in series or in parallel?
Home devices are connected in parallel and not in series.
What will happened if cells were connected in parallel connection but in opposite polarities?
You would get a high circulating current through both cells, possibly enough to do significant damage to both the cells and to you, depending on the capacity of the cells. Technically, they would actually be connected in series, not parallel!
How is a series circuit different to a parell circuit?
The difference between a series and parallel circuit is that a series circuit is connected in such a way that the same current intensity flows through the elements while a parallel circuit is connected in such a way that the same potential appears across their terminals.
What is a resistor bank?
In simple way resistor bank contains number of resistors in series or parallel combination. They are connected in parallel to decrease the resistance and increase current rating and power dissipation.And they are connected in series to increase resistance and power dissipation.
How do you make a series and parallel connections experiment?
Two batteries, put them in series and either measure the voltage with a voltmeter, or with a fan connected watch the speed increase. A parallel connection will increase the current available but will not have an obvious change in output, as the current available is just that, ready for use. You can do something else with parallel and that is to have a volt meter showing that there is a current flow between the two batteries and that is why batteries connected in parallel will discharge.
Why is the current source connected in series only?
Current sources should not be connected in series. It's okay to connect them in parallel.
Is a ammeter connected in series or in parallel with the circuit under test?
An ammeter is connected in series. A voltmeter is connected in parallel. ammeter should always be connected in series instead of parallel becoz it is a low resistance device and we know that resistance is inversly proportional to current so more current will pass through it and if it is connected in parallel than it may get damaged
Can you connect batteries in series and parallel?
Yes, series and parallel connection of batteries is possible. When connected in series Voltage increases. In parallel, Current increases but voltage is constant.
In which case will there be more current in each of three lamps- if they are connected to the same battery in series or in parallel?
more current will be in case of parallel because in series combination resistence is greater with respect to parallel combination
Why resistors are connected in series with the voltage source and in parallel with current source?
a voltage source has very less(negligible)resistance.thus is considered as a short.if connected in parallel to a resistor will draw all the current acting as a short.thus is always connected in series of a resistor.where as a current source has tremendous resistance(infinity).thus if connected in series will be conidered as an open branch and no current will flow through it other than the source current.
What happens to the current in the series circuit?
current remains same in series while divide itself in parallel circuit
What happens to voltages and currents when there are passive elements connected in series and in parallel?
In a series circuit the current flow in each element is equal but voltage across the each element is differ. In a parallel circuit the voltage across the each element is equal but current flow in each element is differ.
What happens if an ammeter is connected in parallel and voltmeter connected in series in a circuit?
The voltmeter will register the volts, the ammeter will either explode or blow a fuse since it has a very low resistance and is designed to be used in series to measure the current flowing through it.
Are devices of home connected in series or in parallel?
Home devices are connected in parallel and not in series.
Should a Voltmeter always be connected in a series with a component?
Voltmeter should be connected always in parallel to a circuit ANSWER : IT should be in parallel except when used to measure current. Then it should be placed in series across a shunt.
When two identical cells are connected either in series or parallel across a 2 ohm resistor they send the same current through it calculate the internal resistance of each cell?
as the given cells have the same current flowing in through them (current flowing through the cells connected in series is equal to the current flowing when connected in parallel ) equate the formula's of cells connected in series and cells connected in parallel.thus by equating we get the value of the internal resistor as 2 ohms.
Is it connected in series or parallel?
series
