It depends, of course, what 'them' are! But, for most electrical loads, their power ratings only apply when they are subjected to their rated voltage (you may have noticed that lamps have both their rated power and their rated voltage printed on their glass envelope -e.g. 100 W / 230 V). The only way to subject a number of different loads to a specified rated voltage is to connect them is parallel, as the voltage across each branch of a parallel circuit is equal to the supply voltage.

Is parallel circuit more advisable than series Circuit?

no series circuit is best. Actually it depends on the application, neither is always better.


Types of electrical circuit?

Series and parallelImproved AnswerThere are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex. 'Complex' is a 'catch-all', used to describe circuits that are not series, parallel, or series-parallel. An example of a 'complex' circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge circuit.


Is the electric circuit in your home a series circuit or a parallel circuit?

Parallel.


Why are parallel Christmas lights better than series?

In a series circuit, if any one bulb goes open the rest of the lights will go out. The current flow in a series circuit is common throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit when one bulb goes open the rest remain on due to the configuration of a parallel circuit.


Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?

series circuit


Is series parallel the same as parallel?

No, series parallel, as it implies has components of the circuit configured in both series and parallel. This is typically done to achieve a desired resistance in the circuit. A parallel circuit is a circuit that only has the components hooked in parallel, which would result in a lower total resistance in the circuit than if the components were hooked up in a series parallel configuration.
