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.
What is a fact for parallel circuits for kids?
A parallel circuit is a circuit that takes both legs to make a load.
What two circuits one series and one parallel use light bulbs to provide resistance. Both circuits have the same number of light bulbs?
Series circuit gives higher resistance compared to parallel circuit.
Formula for inductance of series circuits?
AnswerInductances add in series, so the formula is simply L=L1+L2. Inductance is handled in the same manner as resistance in serial and parallel circuits.
How do you combine two or more circuits to achieve greater amperage ie. combine two 20 amp circuits to achieve a 40 amp circuit?
If you mean "combining circuits" as in connecting two or more circuits in parallel, this is only allowed by the National Electrical Code when the wires are at least size 1/0 (about 150 amps) You are not allowed to parallel conductors smaller than 1/0 If you meant something else, you need to clarify the question
Can parallel circuits be used instead of fuses?
No. Parallel circuits are not fuses. Fuses can be used to protect parallel circuits.
How many circuits in the parallel circuit?
parallel circuit - a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths.The circuits in a parallel circuits there are two or more circuits.
What are the types of circuits?
The types of circuits are series and parallel!
What types of circuits are in a cell phone?
parallel circuits
What is the name of the circuit that is neither parallel nor series?
FEEDBACK CIRCUITS. In addition to parallel and series circuits, there are also closed and short circuits.
Does a parallel circuit have more than 1 resistor?
Parallel circuits normally have more than one resistor. Basically parallel circuits are circuits where the current has more than path to follow. However, there are parallel circuits where there are two switches rather than two resistors.
Which circuits is better series or parallel?
parallel is better
Which type of Electrical wiring is used in your homes and offices?
Parallel for main circuits and series parallel for lighting circuits.
Do bedrooms have parallel or series circuits?
in bedrooms we have parallel circuit.
What are the type of circuits used in wiring installation?
The two main types are series and parallel circuits. From these two circuits comes combinations of different series parallel circuits depending on what end results you need.
What type of circuits are used in most homes-parallel-or-series?
parallel
What is same in the parallel circuit?
the term voltage is constant in parallel circuits
