A parallel circuit is :)
A circuit that has more than one path for the current to flow is a parallel circuit. The circuit must have two or more paths to be considered parallel. A circuit that has only one current path through multiple components is a series circuit.
If a 'parallel' circuit has more than one load in its (not "it's"!) branches, then it is not a parallel circuit, but a series-parallel circuit! To resolve the circuit, you must first resolve the total resistance of the loads within each branch.
yes
no series circuit is best. Actually it depends on the application, neither is always better.
Neither is superior. Both a series and a parallel circuit have their place.
Because there is only a single path in series circuit and many paths in parallel circuit.
No, series parallel, as it implies has components of the circuit configured in both series and parallel. This is typically done to achieve a desired resistance in the circuit. A parallel circuit is a circuit that only has the components hooked in parallel, which would result in a lower total resistance in the circuit than if the components were hooked up in a series parallel configuration.
they are used for more power than a series circuit so you should use this one.
In a parallel circuit (with more than one branch), the current will still flow in the other circuit(s) even if there is a break in one circuit. This is not so with a series circuit, since it does not have branches: if there is a break in the circuit, there is a break in the circuit.
Parallel circuits can have more than one way around the circuit I.e. ______O______ |______O_____| |_____|-______| Series circuits only have one way around the circuit I.e. ______O______ |______|-_____| Key: __ or | = wire O = light |- = battery/cell
That is described as a circuit in series, as opposed to a circuit in parallel, in which there is more than one loop.
The series circuit has one wire, while the parallel circuit has two wires. And if you connect the extra wire its dim because your taking away electrons and energy flowing through the main circuit -Hope this helped:D The difference is that series circuit has one path but parallel has more than one path. -hope this helped!:D ~Bunnii Boo
