A series circuit is one that is hooked up one component after another. Think of a Baseball club holding hands. A paralell circuit is one in which the components are hooked up while sharing connection points. - Think of a marching squad coming at you all at once.

∙ 7y agoA series circuit is when all the components are connected together in one continuous way, with no cross-connections between intermediate parts. If one component breaks the whole circuit is broken.
A good example of a series circuit is how all the low-voltage lights to go on a Christmas tree are usually connected in series in a "head to tail" fashion, so that the total voltage of the string of lights matches the house service voltage.
A circuit is said to be in series if
1. Its components are connected end to end.
2.same current flows through all the components,
3.voltages are additive,
4.powers are additive.

What are the types of circuits?
The types of circuits are series and parallel!
What is the name of the circuit that is neither parallel nor series?
FEEDBACK CIRCUITS. In addition to parallel and series circuits, there are also closed and short circuits.
How do you build a series circuit in your home?
You do not build a series circuit in your home. The only series circuits are the circuits that go through circuit breakers, light switches, and relays. Electrical and electronic devices use internal series circuits but those are the only ones people build. No one builds series circuits for house wiring. Electrical outlets are connected with parallel wiring.
Can a circuit be a combination of series connections and parallel conections?
Yes. There are also more complicated circuits, that can't be described ONLY as a combination of series and parallel circuits - basically, circuits that contain several loops.
Which statements about series circuits are correct?
series circuits have 1 pathway they have constant current(Amperes) not constant voltage. Resistance=R+R+R+...
What are the 2 main electrical circuits?
The two basic types of circuits are series and parallel circuits.
What are the types of circuits?
The types of circuits are series and parallel!
What is the name of the circuit that is neither parallel nor series?
FEEDBACK CIRCUITS. In addition to parallel and series circuits, there are also closed and short circuits.
What are the three basic different types of electrical circuits?
In electronics DC stands for direct current. There are three types of circuits in this current. They are the closed, open, and series circuits.
What are the type of circuits used in wiring installation?
The two main types are series and parallel circuits. From these two circuits comes combinations of different series parallel circuits depending on what end results you need.
Who invented series circuits?
your mom did

Why are series-parallel control circuits important in the circuitry used in air-conditioning equipment?
series circuits are used in all safety's in hvac.
What is the major advantage to using parallel circuits?
They last longer than series circuits.
What are the 3 kinds of electronic circuits?
The three types of electronic circuits are called closed circuits, open circuits and series circuits. You will often hear these terms when an electrician explains what he is doing.
Which type of Electrical wiring is used in your homes and offices?
Parallel for main circuits and series parallel for lighting circuits.
Can a circuit be a combination of series connections and parallel conections?
Yes. There are also more complicated circuits, that can't be described ONLY as a combination of series and parallel circuits - basically, circuits that contain several loops.
