The main advantage of a series circuits comes from the fact that when you add a power source, its voltage just gets added to voltage of the circuit. This increase in voltage allows you to easily increase the power going to any electrical device just by adding more sources of voltage. In addition, since current is constant across a series circuit, if you have a collection of devices that all require the same or closely related current, a series circuit instantly gets you there. Finally, on a more economical note, since you only need to wire one loop in series (as opposed to multiple in parallel) you will end up using less wire and spending less on materials to create your circuit.

However, if you plan on powering multiple devices at once with the ability to remove any of them at any time or want them to have the same voltage and not the same current, you will have little choice but to concede and use a parallel circuit structure instead.

Almost never.

Only in very simple, often laboratory/test applications or things like incandescent lighting, would a series circuit be used. In almost all applications, the circuit would be a hybrid with components in both parallel and series.

Series circuit is used in stuff that has only one pathway for electrons to flow in.

Such as flash light, clock and on much more stuff.

Lights in your house, however this is not a wise decision since if any part of the circuit is broken the whole series is taken out; the same applies to Christmas lights.it also used for?lights an more lights and eltric??

A series circuit is a circuit that if you would take something like a lightbulb out of your Christmas tree lights they would all go out.

How many circuits can you find in the picture of series circuit?

I would have a fighting chance of answering if I could see the picture.


How do you find power in a series circuit?

Power dissipated by the entire series circuit = (voltage between its ends)2 / (sum of resistances of each component in the circuit). Power dissipated by one individual component in the series circuit = (current through the series circuit)2 x (resistance of the individual component).
