it prevents electricity to flow. i hope that is right

An example series circuit might be what?
A voltage or current source in series with a circuit breaker or fuse in series with a switch in series with a light bulb.
What is the switch on a overload?
to protect the source from overloading a switch can be opened as a circuit breaker, fuse, overload protection schemes
Why is one bulb set up along a parallel circuit actually a series circuit?
In a series circuit, if you open a bulb, current loop will be broken. So, current cannot travel all the wayback, hence no output. But in a parallel circuit, current will be only shared with parallel circuit, but the loop remains closed even if you remove the bulb. So, no change occurs.
What will happen to the charges in a circuit when they travel through a source?
When the switch is opened, the charge will drop to zero.
Where do you put the switch in a parallel circuit?
Switches used in electrical circuits are wired in series with either a parallel or series load. In parallel loads, the switch is upstream from the parallel circuit, so that the switch will shut off all of the parallel circuits.
What happens when a switch circuit is opened?
When a switch is closed the path through the circuit is continuous.
What happens if the switch is open in a parallel circuit?
It shouldn't. Your house wiring is a series- parallel circuit.
If you unscrewed the second bulb in the series circuit when it was on explain what happens to the first?
Unscrewing any bulb in a series circuit turns them all off. This is the same as opening the switch that controls them.
How do you add a switch to a series circuit?
usually in series
What happens when you open a switch in a series crcuit?
A closed series circuit is one where the current flows through all devices in the circuit. Opening a switch prevents current from flowing in the circuit and it becomes simply an "open circuit". Any device that operates with current (light, LED, motor, etc) will no longer function.
When a switch in an electrical circuit is turned off what will happen?
Closing a switch in an electrical circuit will complete the circuit. The supply voltage will then be applied to that circuit, and current will flow through that circuit.
Can series circuits work when a switch is open?
No. Since the switch is in series with the circuit, opening it blocks the current flow through the circuit, turning it off.
How does removing bulb or opening and closing the switch affect a series circuit?
Removing a bulb - or opening the switch - breaks the flow of current in a series circuit.
An example series circuit might be what?
A voltage or current source in series with a circuit breaker or fuse in series with a switch in series with a light bulb.
What happens when a switch is in a circuit is opened?
it prevents electricity to flow. i hope that is right
What does it mean when the circuit is opened?
Its means there is no continuity between point Ato point B. Ex. A light switch : When the switch is off it opens the circuit and electricity does not get to the light, when the switch is on the circuit is closed and the light will turn on.
What happens to an electric current at a light switch?
When an electrical switch is in the off position, the circuit is interrupted. When the switch is on, the circuit is open and complete.
