Where is the most resistance lost in a series circuit?
Resistance isn't lost. The largest voltage drop will occur across the largest resistance in a series circuit.
Which resistor of a series circuit receives the larget voltage drop?
The resistor with the most resistance.
When would you use a series and when would you use a parallel circuit?
* The most common applications for series circuits is in Christmas tree lights and putting a fuse in series with delicate electronic equipment. * Each component in a circuit causes a voltage drop. Therefore, the series circuit should only be used where the voltage drop does not interfere with the proper functioning of the components in the circuit. * On the other hand, where all of the compenents in a circuit require the same supply voltage, then a parelell circuit should be used.
What the advantages of series circuits?
While many of the terminal parts of a circuit may be a series element, in most circuits there will be both series and parallel components. Neither is superior - they both have their appropriate applications.
What is the problem when you have 110-120 volt but when circuit is completed voltage drops to 30 volts?
A resistance in series with the circuit. It is most likely a wiring error, loose connection or load hooked in series instead of parallel.
Why are most homes wired in a parallel circuit rathen than a series circuit?
Series circuits , the voltage is drawn by instruments progressively from source to end whereas parallel circuits give a constant voltage through all the points connected parallel to the source hence the name.In series circuit,the more the power drawn by an instrument,the lesser the voltage available for the next instrument connected after it serially from the source. Hope this solves the question
What type of electrical circuit is used least in industry and the home?
The most common of all circuits used in industry and around the home is the parallel circuit. In industry all MCC controls are in parallel with the supply distribution and around the home all lighting circuits are in parallel with the supply distribution panel.
In what part of the circuit do the electric charges releases most of their energy?
The component with the highest resistance in a series circuit will have, or "drop" the most voltage across it. All of the components in a series circuit will have the same amount of current flowing through them but not the same voltage drops if the resistances are different. More resistance more voltage across it, less resistance, less voltage across it.
Can a short circuit cause low voltage?
Most likely a short circuit will cause no voltage. Due to the high current on a short circuit fault the over current protection of the circuit will trip. This will cut the voltage supply off completely.
Can Voltage dividers can provide only positive output voltages?
Voltage dividers can provide anything between VCC (the most positive voltage in the circuit) and VSS (the most negative voltage in the circuit). For example, if VCC =0 and VSS = -15, then the output voltage has to be negative. ========================
What uses series circuit?
the connection in a series circuit would be a most it can be given in safety places
How does a house use a series circuit?
The most common form of a series circuit in a house is a circuit breaker (optionally in series with an on-off switch) in series with a load, usually a light bulb.
