What is a series electrical circuit and parallel electrical circuit?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
A series circuit is an electrical circuit that has all the components in one section> A Series Circuit>(Below)
5
A Parallel Circuit is an electrical circuit that has a main section, plus additional branches for components, so that the current can be dispersed. If the power is dispersed, than the components get a larger current of power, leading them to perform at a higher quality.
(This is a parallel circuit... Except that a parallel circuit is connected.)

∙ 13y agoIn a series circuit, all connections (bulb, resistance, battery, electrical appliances) are connected in one single series. Hence if one stops working, electric current would not be able to flow through this circuit.
In a parallel circuit, all connections are in parallel or atleast some are with respect to the battery. So if any appliance which is parallel with respect to the battery stops working, the current would still flow through the circuit skipping the path of the broken appliance.

∙ 13y agoA series circuit is made up of only one route through which electricity can flow, as all components are in a single loop.
A parallel circuit has multiple loops and therefore multiple routes through which electricity can flow.

∙ 11y agoThe simplest way to visualize the difference between series and parallel circuits
is probably to visualize a one-lane road versus a road with two or more lanes.
-- A series circuit is one in which there is only one possible route for current to follow
from one end of the circuit to the other ... usually the terminals of the power supply.
-- A parallel circuit is one in which there's more than one possible way to get from
point-A to point-B. When current arrives at point-A, it splits up. Some part of the
current follows each available route from there to point-B.

Parallel = making a one lane road into a multi-lane roadway.
Series/Parallel is a completely, and also distinctly, valid circuit arrangement.

parallel means two parallel lines that the components go across.

What types of electrical circuitry is used in houses?
Both parallel and series circuit are used in the wiring of a house.
What type of electrical circuit is used least in industry and the home?
The most common of all circuits used in industry and around the home is the parallel circuit. In industry all MCC controls are in parallel with the supply distribution and around the home all lighting circuits are in parallel with the supply distribution panel.
Type of circuit that is used in house wiring?
Both series and parallel circuits are used What_types_of_circuits_are_used_in_homes. If the circuit is a dedicated circuit which means that there is only one device in the circuit, then it is a series circuit. All the rest will be classed as parallel circuits.
How are switches in electrical circuits usually wired?
They are wired in parallel, series and series - parallel.
What type of an electrical circuit has more than one current branch?
A parallel circuit is an electrical circuit that has more than one current branch.
What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
Types of electrical circuit?
Series and parallelImproved AnswerThere are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex. 'Complex' is a 'catch-all', used to describe circuits that are not series, parallel, or series-parallel. An example of a 'complex' circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge circuit.
Which type of circuit is favored for operating several electrical devices each independently of other series or parallel?
parallel circuit .
If a new bulb is added and the electrical circuit becomes dimmer is it a parallel circuit?
No it's series circuit.
Electric lights will not come on unless their electrical circuit is a parallel circuit?
No, electric lights come in both parallel and series circuit.
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
Why does electrical current flow along a single path in a series circuit and more than one path in a parallel circuit?
Because there is only a single path in series circuit and many paths in parallel circuit.
What type of circuit are there?
parallel circuit / series circuit / and a short circuit
What circuit is it when electrical current only has one path to follow is a?
parallel
What is an electric circuit in which the electric charges have only one path to follow?
It is a series electrical circuit.
How many electrical paths are in a parallel circut?
By definition, more than one. If a circuit has just one path, it is a series circuit, not parallel.
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.
