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.
The same as in any other circuit - in the case of a parallel circuit, the switch will either allow or not allow current to pass through one particular branch.
It shouldn't. Your house wiring is a series- parallel circuit.
An AC wall switch is in series within the parallel circuit of the overall house wiring.
A switch is used to connect or disconnect a load from a source of voltage. If you take the input and connect directly to the output the result is that the connected device is always on.
Yes.
Abraham Lincoln preferred them to perpendicular circuits.
Only if you install separate switches for each part of the circuit. The whole point of a parallel circuit - is that both parts of the circuit are controlled by the same switch.
By connecting the LED on the other terminals in parallel
In a modern home you use parallel circuit's. The reason why they are parallel circuit and not series is For example: say your kitchen light goes off, if that light goes off the others in your house won't. They also use parallel circuit in schools. However, when there is a switch in the circuit, that switch is in series with the load, so you could say that electrical wiring is arranged in series-parallel.
um.. a switch is a part of a series circuit because parallel circuits don't have switches
Battery, bulb, switch and conductors that connect everything together.
