Double circuits can carry more power. Also, double circuits introduce a level of redundancy, so that if a single circuit (half of the double circuit) fails, the other half is still intact.

Why does electrical current flow along a single path in a series circuit and more than one path in a parallel circuit?

Because there is only a single path in series circuit and many paths in parallel circuit.


A SPST switch is an example of what circuit?

It stands for Single Pole Single Throw


A circuit in which all the devices are connected in a single path is called?

A series circuit is one is which all current is restricted to one path. A good example of a device that is series-connected is a circuit breaker.


How are series parallel circuits different?

A series is an electric circuit with a single path.A parallel circuit is an electric circuit with multiple paths.


Can one use 1 circuit of a 3 wire plus ground 2 circuit cable as a GFI circuit with the other as a lighting circuit?

A GFCI can not be used on a three wire branch circuit. It has to be on a single two wire circuit.

Why is a dual line braking circuit better single line system?

If fluid is lost due to component failure, you will get total brake failure (loss of all braking except parking/emergency brake) on a single circuit system. A dual circuit system will only fail in one circuit, leaving the remaining circuit working. It is therefore safer.


Why is a duel line braking system used in preference to a single?

Redundancy, if one fails the other is probably still working and can stop the vehicle by itself.
