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.

How are series circuits and parallel circuits the same?

They are not. They are connected differently, and the voltages and currents behave in different ways.

Who discover parallel circuit?

The concept of a parallel circuit was discovered by German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff in the 19th century. He formulated Kirchhoff's circuit laws, which describe how currents and voltages behave in a network of interconnected circuit elements, including parallel branches.


Parallel operation of transformers?

Transformers can be connected in parallel, if they have the same primary and secondary voltages and equal operating frequency.


Which is brighter series or parallel?

Parallel. Coz all the elements will get same voltages from the sources. in case of series connection, the voltage is divided between all elements.


Why capacitors are almost always connected in parallel and not in series?

to provide a discharge path for voltages.


A resistor and a capacitor are connected in parallel across a 120 v dc source determine the voltages across the resistor and the capacitor?

Since they're connected in parallel directly across the source, the voltages across both componentsare equal, and are equal to the source, i.e. 120 v DC.


Can batteries of unequal voltages b connected in parallel?

no..... The battery with lower voltage will consume power from the higher one...


What will be the resultant voltage across different voltage points connected in parallel?

The voltages appearing across each branch of a parallel circuit will be equal to the supply voltage.


Can you connect 100 ah battery with a 130 ah battery?

It seems so. The only difference between the two is the amount of charge each holds. Sure! But they should have the same voltages. In that case if you connect them in series then you sum up their voltages. however, if they are connected in parallel, you then sum up their flow rate currents(ah). Example, if each is 12V, then connecting in series produces 24V. On the other hand, parallel gives 230 ah.


What are the relations between individual voltages and the total voltages when resistors are connected in series and in parallel?

-- The current in each individual resistor is (voltage across the whole circuit) divided by (the resistance of the individual resistor). -- The current in any individual resistor is less than the total current in the circuit. -- The total current in the circuit is the sum of the currents through each individual resistor.


Kirchoff's law that states the sum of the currents entering the node is equal to the sum of the currents leaving the node on a parallel circuit?

KCL (Kirchoff's Current Law) applies to any circuit, not just parallel circuits. The sum of the currents entering a node will always equal the sum of the currents leaving the node. KVL states that the sum of the voltages around a closed loop is always zero.
