Parallel
A battery doesn't see a series or parallel circuit. It just supplies the current that is demanded by the load be it a series or parallel load. Visualize that a single load across a battery is both a series and parallel load to the battery.
In series.
Yes, a battery operated toy has a parallel circuit - the battery is in parallel with the toy. In fact, this is true for any system where there is a single equivalent source and a single equivalent load. While it is true that this is also a series circuit, by Kirchoff's current and voltage laws a simple series circuit is also a simple parallel circuit.
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
parallel circuit / series circuit / and a short circuit
A flashlight is an example of a series circuit; a battery in series with a switch in series with a bulb.
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.
Parallel.
Yes, many toys which use batteries contain parallel and series circuits.
There are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.As its name suggests, a 'series-parallel' circuit is a combination of both series and parallel elements.
