Every electrical device plugged into a wall-socket in your house,
as well as every socket with nothing plugged into it, is in parallel
with every other one. The only series-wired electrical devices in
your house are the light-switches.

∙ 14y agoParallel circuits are used in wiring almost everything in buildings. You use them to turn on the lights in a room, Use a blow dryer or to plug anything into an outlet. Some lights and outlets use series circuit, where if one load is disconnected, the entire system fails, much like Christmas tree lights with a faulty bulb.

What is a parallel curcuit?
A parallel circuit is a circuit where there is more than one path of which the flow of current can travel. It is also called a current divider as it divides the current since it splits the path.
How do you use a multimeter?
A multimeter is an instrument used to check for AC or DC voltages, resistance and continuity of electrical components, and small amounts of current in circuits. This instrument will let you check to see if there is voltage present on a circuit.
What is ic fabricationm?
Manufacturing of IC is known as Fabrication of IC.... it is fabricated from silica(sand)... Inside an IC u can see a small silicon sheet where the actual circuits are imprinted by a process... from that small sheet wires are drawn and fabricated into a IC......
Are bipolar transistors a thing of the past?
Bipolar is still much faster and still can drive more devices than cmos. Military continues to use it along with companies like IBM. I think the PS3 uses those processors; the powerpc processors from IBM. The first 3 Pentium chips were BiCMOS in fact. It will always be neededBipolar transistors a thing of the past? Absolutely not! They're everywhere! It's just that a large majority of them are integrated into 1-piece circuits, the so-called integrated circuits. Many, many transistor junctions can be printed on a substrate (along with many other components), and we can end up with some very exotic circuits on a single chip. Just because you can't see 'em doesn't mean they ain't there. Your automobile almost certainly has a number of integrated circuits in it, and most if not all of them have bipolar junction semiconductor devices printed into the circuit. Count on it.
Hooking up three 17amp batteries two series one parallel will you get 24 volts at34 amp?
NO! Do not hook it up this way!Two batteries in series will equal 24 volts and 17 ampsVoltage in series add and current stays the sameSeries circuit: Etotal = E1 + E2 Itotal = I1 = I2Two batteries in parallel will equal 12 volts and 34 ampsVoltage in parallel stays the same and current addsParallel circuit: Etotal = E1 = E2 Itotal = I1 + I2To get the 24 volts and 34 amps you would need a combination of the two:Two batteries in series that are parallel with two more batteries that are in series with each otherBy putting 24 volts in parallel with a 12 volt battery you would have a difference of potential of 12 volts. Same as connecting a wire from the positive to the negative terminal (12 volts difference), you would see sparks and maybe an explosion.

How is geometry used in your everyday life?
Geometry is used in my everyday life because I see it everyday. Everything I see is practically geometry. There are posters on my classroom wall, there are desks and chairs, tables, and a big nice white board. I guess this is really how I used geometry in my everyday life.
