What else can I help you with?
Would a bedroom be wired using a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit
Can each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors?
Yes, but then it would be a 'series-parallel' circuit, not a 'parallel' circuit!
What is the difference between parallel circuits and series circuit?
In parallel circuits all positives go to negatives, in series it is positive to positive,negative to negative. The difference example , if 12 vote batteries are in parallel 2 batteries would produce 24 volts, in series you would boost the time required to depleate the battery, but it would stay at 12 volts.
What are four characteristics of parallel circuit?
an example would be thus. if you had say 2 1.5 volt batteries each say .006 amps. When these batteries are in series the positive end of one is in contact with negative end of the other, pretty much like a common flashlight, and the voltage would be 3 volts., .006 amps. When the same two batteries are connected negative to negative and positive to positive the voltage would still be 1.5 volts but the amperage would be .012 amps. (amps doubled when in parallel, voltage doubled when in series)
What would happen if you added another battery to a simple circuit of two wires a battery and a bulb?
SERIES: A. If the additional battery is added to the circuit in a "Series Aiding" configuration, the bulb would get brighter. However, it would probably burn out very shortly, if not immediately, depending on the power rating of the bulb. Flashlight batteries such as two and three cell flashlights are usually series aiding. B. If the additional battery is added to the circuit in a "Series Opposing" configuration, the intensity of the bulb would decrease or go out completely if the opposing voltages are equal. (you can do a little experiment with a three or four cell flashlight by reversing the polarity of one or more of the batteries. The reversed battery will be series opposing and cancel 1.5 volts of the other batteries.) PARALLEL: If batteries are added to the circuit in parallel, the intensity of the bulb would remain the same but the batteries would last longer. Be sure the battery voltages are the same when adding batteries in parallel.
How do you wire 6 batteries?
Depends on if you want a series or parallel circuit. In a series circuit if you wire six 12 volt batteries together you will end up with 72 volts. Wire the same six 12 volt batteries together in parallel and you will still have 12 volts. In a parallel circuit you just wire all positive posts together and all negative posts together. In a series circuit you would wire positive to negative to increase the voltage with each battery added.

What would happen if a lamp was unscrewed from a parallel circuit?
There will be no change, because it is a parallel circuit.
What type of circuit would be used in lighting circuit?
A lighting circuit would be a parallel circuit.

Why would you add batteries in series?
Putting batteries in series will up the voltage of the entire circuit. Certain things need higher voltage, so you put your batteries in series. Putting batteries in parallel will not up the voltage, but will let the current last longer. Watches would be more of an example for that. You want watch batteries to last long.
A circuit with 4 parallel parts but only one serial part would be called a what kind of circuit?
parallel circuit

What circuit would you use if you were building a house?
A parallel 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.
