What type of an electrical circuit has more than one current branch?
A parallel circuit is an electrical circuit that has more than one current branch.
What type of switch would be used to control a lighting load from one control point?
In this type of situation, where there is more than one lighting circuit, a lighting contactor would be used. These types of contactors can be obtained in four and five pole configurations. Make sure that the contactor is rated for lighting loads and not motor loads. A normal switch, single pole single throw, would be used to switch the contactors on and off. A single switch could then be used to control as many contactors as you need to operate the lighting circuits.If there is just one lighting circuit, the total circuit amperage must be known, then the switch would be sized to the amperage of the circuit.
What happens when a switch circuit is opened?
When a switch is closed the path through the circuit is continuous.
What type of circuit is one in which all loads are connected in a single loop-?
That is described as a circuit in series, as opposed to a circuit in parallel, in which there is more than one loop.
What do you mean by open and closed electric circuit?
An open circuit is one where the current is not able to complete the circuit. An example could be a light bulb connected to power but switched off, the circuit being broken by the switch, and considered "open." When flipping the switch On, it connects the power and the circuit is then closed.
What is happening when a switch is off?
When the light switch is turned on and a light bulb is connected in the circuit a current will flow through the circuit. Likewise when the switch is opened, the current will stop flowing in the circuit.
What type of an electrical circuit has more than one current branch?
A parallel circuit is an electrical circuit that has more than one current branch.
What circuit is a circuit in which electrical current has more than one path to follow?
A circuit that has more than one path for the current to flow is a parallel circuit. The circuit must have two or more paths to be considered parallel. A circuit that has only one current path through multiple components is a series circuit.
Why is it important for the switch of the circuit to be open at the start of an activity?
If you mean by activity, working on an electrical circuit, then it is for safety reasons that a switch is opened. Most companies now use a proper lock out procedure so that everyone is aware that the circuit has been locked out. If more than one person is working on the circuit each person is required to have their own personal lock on the open switch.
What type of circuit has more than one circuit on a wire a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit is :)
Which circuit will allow you to switch a light on and off at both the front and backdoor of a house?
This is called a 3-way circuit. It uses special switches and wiring to control a load from more than one location.
A circuit with more than one resistor on a single wire is a?
Is A Series Circuit
What type of circuit has more than one resistor on a wire?
The answer is a Series circuit.
What type of circuit has more than one path for the electrons?
a parallel circuit.
What are the paths of a parallel circuit?
There are more than one path for a parallel circuit
Which circuit has different parts of the circuit on different branches?
Any circuit that even has more than one branch is a parallel one.
A circuit that has more than one path?
A circuit that has more than one path for the electric current to flow is called a parallel circuit. In a parallel circuit, each component is connected to the same two points, allowing for multiple paths for the current to travel. This configuration is commonly used in household wiring and electronics to power multiple devices independently.
