What would happen if a lamp was unscrewed from a parallel circuit?
There will be no change, because it is a parallel circuit.
What will happen if two dc sources are connected in parallel?
IF two dc sources are connected in parallel, the one with the highest potential dominates the circuit.
What happen if you connect capacitor and resistor in parallel in low pass filter?
Only frequencies in the pass band range will be allowed through the circuit. Other frequencies will be attenuated based on the RC values picked.
How could you find the purpose of a parallel circuit?
For an electrical load, such as a lamp, heater or motor, to operate at its rated power, it must be subject to its rated voltage which always corresponds to the supply voltage. For this to happen, individual loads must be connected in parallel with the supply and with each other. So all the electrical loads in your home, in your car, etc., are ALL connected in parallel.
What would happen to circuit if there was no resistance?
a circuit with no resistance or zero resistance can be considered as open circuit in which the current is zero. without resistance the circuit just becomes open ()
What would happen if a lamp was unscrewed from a parallel circuit?
There will be no change, because it is a parallel circuit.
What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.
What will happen if you change polarity in parallel circuit?
The current in each branch of the circuit will turn and flow in the other direction.
What happen if you change the position of ammeter in the circuit in parallel and series?
-- In a series circuit, no matter where you install the ammeter, it will always read the same current. -- In a parallel circuit, the ammeter may read a different current when it's moved to a different parallel branch.
What would happen if one bulb burns out in a parallel circuit?
Nothing much will happen except the same bulb will not blow..
What will happen if two dc sources are connected in parallel?
IF two dc sources are connected in parallel, the one with the highest potential dominates the circuit.
What will happen to a buzzer connected to a circuit?
If it is connected in series with a circuit then it might raise the resistance too high and fail the system. Parallel connection is a circuit is probably the best bet you have.
What will happen to the two lights in a parallel circuit when one of the wires is disconnected?
one light will still be going
Why would nothing happen if a bulb blew up in a parallel circuit?
The total current in the circuit would be reduced by the amount of current that was supplying the bulb. No other bulbs in the circuit would be affected. The comparison is driving on a highway. If you are driving on a two lane highway and the car in front of you slows down, you must slow down. If you are driving on a four lane highway you may drive beside (parallel) to the car, so if that car slowed down you would not be affected.
What happen when a ammeter is placed in parallel with the circuit?
If an ammeter is placed in parallel with a a load on a circuit, the circuit can short out as the ammeter takes the place of the load, flowing freely through the meter. Never measure across a resister or other electronic load with an ammeter. Remember, ammeters are used in series while voltmeters are used in parallel.
What will happen to the resistance and the brightness if you add a light bulb to the circuit?
If a rheostat is connected in parallel with a light bulb, the setting of the rheostat should have no effect on the performance of the light bulb, as long as the power supply is able to maintain its output voltage and deliver the current demanded by their parallel combination.
What is the advantage of using a parallel circuit as opposed to a series circuit?
If a component of a parallel circuit fails, there are complete pathways for electricity to allow the remaining components to carry on functioning. ( For instance if the living room light bulb fails, the kitchen light can still work.) Also, if you link several bulbs in series, the current through them drops and they are dimmer than one on its own, but this doesn't happen with a parallel circuit.
