When a home circuit breaker opens the lights in some rooms go off but the lights in some rooms stay on. Explain why.?
The circuit breakers in a panelboard feed separate circuits. The lights that stay on are on a different circuit than the ones that go off. To fine the circuit that feeds the lights that stay on, go to the panelboard and turn off the breakers one by one until the lights go out. This is the circuit that feeds that circuit of lights. Remember that lights and receptacles can be on the same circuit together.
Where are parallel circuits used?
Parallel circuits are used when there are many electronics on the same circuit, such as Christmas lights, for example. If they were on a series circuit, if one bulb went out all of them would go out. In your home, parallel circuits allow you to turn any electrical device on or off, independently of the others.
When do you use Parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit is used when the current through several components needs to be independent of each other. The simplest example is that of lights in a home. The lights with their switches are wired in parallel. Turning on one light does not affect any others and similarly, turning a light off does not turn off any others. Each light is supplied with the same voltage which does not change even if other lights are turned on or off. A series circuit is one where the current flows through one component and then through a second component and so on. If the current flow through one component is changed, it is also changed in all the others in the series circuit. A string of Christmas lights is a good example. Removing one bulb from the string of lights will stop all the others operating because there is no current flowing through any of them.
how many lights can go on one circuit?
You can find out more information on how many new fixtures can be put in a circuit by going to a home improvement store such as Lowe's or Home Depot or going to their direct website.
When you turn off an electric bulb in your home do all the others light go out?
No, not in my home. In my home, all of the lights and outlets are wired in parallel, so no light affects any of the others.
Why do the lights in my home pulsate?
By pulsate do you mean flicker. A momentary dimming of your lights can be caused by motor loads on your lighting circuits. If your lights dim, this can be caused by a refrigerator, sump pump, garage door opener or other motors sharing the circuit with your lighting.
Is the electric circuit in your home a series circuit or parallel circuit?
In my home, all of the utility outlets and all of the AC electrical devices we use arein parallel with all the others, and also with all similar outlets and devices in all ofthe homes of all of our neighbors whose houses are on the same transformer.

What is an example of a parallel series circuit in your home?
Two receptacles on a branch circuit, each in parallel, both in series with the circuit breaker. The blower motor, ignition transformer, and oil solenoid on an oil burner, each in parallel, all in series with the acquastat (water temperature control switch).
