Yes they can but the electrical code states that the wires can only be 1/0 AWG and larger.

What is the equivalent resistance if six 18 kOhm resistors are connected in 1. series 2. parallel as was asked by Mackey90 on 8 December 2008?

6 separate 18kOhm resistors wired in series make a total resistance of:18k+18k+18k+18k+18k+18k which is 108 kOhm.6 separate 18kOhm resistors wired in parallel make a total resistance of:1/[(1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k)] which is 3 kOhm.


How are series circuits and parallel circuits?

A parallel circuit is used in a strand of Christmas lights so that if one bulb goes out, the rest don't. A parallel circuit is also used in circuit breakers of houses. A series circuit is used in a flashlight. Everything follows one path.


What is the type of circuit where bulbs are next to each other?

The type of circuit where bulbs are next to each other is called a series circuit. In a series circuit, the current flows through each component in a single path, making it so that if one bulb goes out, the entire circuit will be broken and all bulbs will turn off. This is in contrast to a parallel circuit, where each component has its own separate path for the current to flow, allowing the other bulbs to stay lit even if one goes out.


How do you reduce induced voltage in control cables?

You can reduce induced voltage in control cable by applying the following methods. 1. While laying control cable keep a minimum distance 300mm from the power cable. 2. If possible try to lay control cable on the separate cable tray. 3. Earth the Armour/ screen of the control cable on both side of the cable or at-least at one side. Some times it is not important to reduce the the induced voltage in control cable, but it's effect on relay or contactor as the contactor or relay does not pick-down even after the removal of the control supply. In that case it is recommended to use two relay/contactor in parallel and use the contacts in series or parallel for control circuit interlocking.


Do generators have brushes?

Most do, but not all. Some have a separate exciter winding.

Does amperage increase as the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increase?

In a parallel circuit, the total amperage increases as the number of bulbs increases because the current has multiple paths to flow through. Each bulb offers a separate path that allows more current to flow. In a parallel circuit, adding more bulbs decreases the total resistance, allowing more current to pass through.


Which circuit has different parts of the circuit on separate branches?

Any circuit that even has more than one branch is a parallel one.

How much amperage can a non digital thermostat handle?

A non-digital thermostat typically handles low voltage systems, usually around 24 volts, and can manage amperage ranging from 1 to 5 amps, depending on its design. It's important to check the specific thermostat's specifications, as the exact amperage capacity can vary. For higher loads, such as those in HVAC systems, a separate relay or contactor is often used to safely manage the current. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure safe and proper usage.

How is skew lines are different from parallel lines?

Skew lines are lines that lie on separate planes. and do not intercept parallel lines that are sometimes on the same plane, but don't intersect


How many paths do a parallel curcuit have?

A parallel circuit has multiple paths for current to flow. Each branch in a parallel circuit offers a separate path for the current, providing multiple routes for electricity to travel from the source to the load.


How many paths does a parallel circuit have?

a parallel circuit has 2 or more paths.a series circuit has 1 path.a parallel circuit is better for homes and school
