parallel
A circuit connected in a single path is called a series circuit. In a series circuit, the current flows through each component in sequence, providing only one path for the electricity to follow. If one component fails, the entire circuit is disrupted.
A circuit that has more than one path for the electric current to flow is called a parallel circuit. In a parallel circuit, each component is connected to the same two points, allowing for multiple paths for the current to travel. This configuration is commonly used in household wiring and electronics to power multiple devices independently.
Europe and Asia are on a single landmass known as Eurasia. These two continents are connected by the Ural Mountains in Russia.
Europe is a single continent, not divided into separate continents.
Europe and Asia share a single landmass, connected by the land boundary between the two continents at the Ural Mountains in Russia. These continents are sometimes referred to together as Eurasia.
Australia and Antarctica are the only continents that have no land connection to another continent. If you count Europe and Asia as two separate continents then they are two connected continents, and North America and South America are connected by way of Central America, leaving Africa, Australia, and Antarctica as the continents that are not connected to other continents. Sometimes we consider Europe and Asia to be a single very large continent called Eurasia.
The circuit is a series circuit when two objects are connected in a single path. In a series circuit, the current flows through each object in succession.
A series circuit is one is which all current is restricted to one path. A good example of a device that is series-connected is a circuit breaker.
Series circuit
Series circuit
The simplest circuit is a single loop of components connected in series; that is, the components are connected head to tail, with the first and last components connected to close the loop and complete the circuit. See the nearby link for the most rudimentary series circuit imaginable.
A circuit in which all parts are connected in a single loop
Because there is only a single path in series circuit and many paths in parallel circuit.
In a single loop circuit (series circuit) this will be an open circuit. If there is a current loop of some type, there's a complete path already, and thus no classification such as open or short circuited. It simply an incomplete circuit.
the complete path that electricity can move through is called
The essential difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit is the way in which the components are physically connected. In a series circuit there is just a single path that electricity can take, whereas in a parallel circuit there are two or more different paths.
Yes. An example: _____A---------B________ A connected directly to B and D by one path. _____|_______/|\________ B connected directly to A and E by one path, and to C by two paths. _____|______/_|_\_______ _____|_____/___\_|______ _____|__E/_____\|______ E connected directly to B and D by one path. _____|____\_____C______ C connected directly to B and D by two paths. _____|_____\____|\_____ _____|______\___|__\___ _____|_______\__|__/___ _____|________\_|_/____ _____|_________\|/_____ _____-------------D_____ D connected directly to A and E by one path, and to C by two paths. There is an Euler circuit: ABCDEBCDA But a Hamiltonian circuit is impossible: as part of a circuit A can only be reached by the path BAD, but once BAD has been traversed it is impossible to get to both C and E without returning to B or D first. However there is a Hamiltonian Path: ABCDE.
