Why if one branch in a parallel circuit is shorted all others will short?
A current checks less resistance path to flow. When one of parallel branches is shorted, it becomes have less resistance and whole the current will flow through it, means current before parallel branches and current after parallel branches becomes same, and all branches become short.
Is An open in the main line of a parallel circuit causes all individual branch currents to be zero?
Yes, an open in main line of a parallel circuit will effect the entire circuit current and make the whole circuit current zero
What is the difference between a series electric circuit?
A series circuit is a circuit that only has one path for current to flow on, a parallel circuit is a circuit that has multiple paths for current to flow on. Parallel circuits are mostly used, especially in your house/home. The reason of that is because, if a device in a series circuit electrically malfuctions or goes down, it will stop the current flow, thus ending and cuting the whole rest of the circuit. In a Parallel circuit, if a device electrically goes down, current will still be able to flow through the other circuit branches, and the rest of the circuit, thus keeping electricity flowing.
The path that a electrical current travels?
A path that is made for an electric current is called a circuit. The two main components in a circuit are the load and a source which are combined with conductors and as a whole form a circuit.
What do you need to complete before the current will flow?
A circuit must have three basic components to make electricity flow. 1. Source of power or electricity. 2. Wires, switches and conductors through which the current can flow. 3. And finally a load to complete the circuit.

The circuit is a series circuit because?
The same current flows through both light bulbs.If one of the resistors run out of power,the whole circuit shuts down

Difference between series and parallel circuits?
The answer to this question is that in a parallel circuit there is more that one circuit or form of energy the circuit. In a series circuit there is only one form of energy in that circuit. Hope this helped you and gave you the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 :) if you look at a diagram of a parallel circuit, it looks like a ladder, where as a series circuit diagram looks like a rectangle <><><> "What are the differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?" In a series circuit there is only one path for the electric current to flow. If this path is broken, then the current will no longer flow and all the devices in the circuit will stop working. So if you hook up a bunch of light bulbs together, and one goes out, they all go out, and that can be a problem. In a parallel circuit there is more than one oath for the electric current to pass through. The current continues to flow through the other paths. So if one light bulb goes out of 20 goes out in a parallel circuit, they won't all go out, unlike a series circuit.
How does the fuse maintain the life of electrical equipments?
When we apply current to any circuit, it produces heat, so electronic circuit in each equipment has a limit to accommodate that heat otherwise wires may melt. To save circuit from melting and burning of equipment, fuse is used. As whole current to the circuit flows through fuse, so in case of unexpected larger current , it melts and thus save the equipments.
What is complete circuit?
A complete circuit is where a current can flow without any leaks.
Why does short circuit break whole circuit?
Because a whole circuit needs a short circuit to work. It's like a remote; the remote is the whole circuit and the batteries needed are the short circuit. if those batteries are broken, the remote won't work. In other words, without a short circuit, a whole circuit can not occur successfully. Hope this helped, Charlie the Grey
How much current flows through circuit breaker trip coil?
The trip coil has the whole circuit load amperage flowing through it. Thepurpose of the breaker is to only allow current up to its trip point. That is the only way that the breaker can sense if the current is within the limit rating. If the circuit load amperage becomes greater that the breaker rating it will trip. The trip coil that you refer to is a magnetic trip which senses the magnetic field that surrounds the wire. Breakers also have a thermal trip which senses a heat build up on the current flowing through it. If the breaker is in a high ambient temperature it will lower the rating on the breaker.
What is the difference in a parallel circuit and a series circuit?
A series circuit is a circuit with only one pathway for electrons (electricity) to flow! And a parallel circuit has two or more pathways for electrons (electricity) to flow!If you do not agree with me ask your teacher this exact question to see if i am right or wrong. If you agree with me just read the two sentences above until you have memorized it! Okay! Great!( :a thingseries circuit has a common current and a parallel circuit has a common voltage.
The differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
In a series circuit, electrons flow through all the components one after another. If one fails (break), the whole circuit is no longer live. All the resistances are also added up in a series circuit. The current (measured in amps) is the same throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit, electrons flow through smaller circuits all coming from the same source. The amperage is different in each circuit based on the resistance offered. The one wire running to all the smaller circuits has higher current than any of the small offset circuits. Removing one thing will not affect the other smaller circuits as electrons can still flow. Current will be affected, of course.
