You're home/school outlets and lights are in parallel with each other. The fuses or breakers in your home / school are in series with these lights and outlets. Extentions cords / battery backups are in series with whatever is plugged into them.

Is an ammeter found on a series or parallel circuit?

Series. An ammeter is used to measure current, and is connected in series! There are also clamp on ammeters that use a small current transformer that is placed around a wire in the current loop in question. A small amount of current will be induced on this wire which can be read by the meter. This is not exactly in series or in parallel, but it "steals" some power from the circuit to induce in the meter, and at the same time keeps the circuit intact.


What happens when resistors are interconnected in a circuit?

The net resistance can be found out using the algebraic sums f series and parallel connections. When there is no current flowing in the circuit the net resistance is infinite.


How do resistors act in series?

In brief, the overall or net resistance changes and the resistors in series and/or parallel can be represented by a single equivalent resistor. If you consider series resistors the equivalent resistance of the series would be: R = R1+R2+ ... +Rx The equivalent resistance of parallel resistors would be: 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + ... + 1/Rx One rule to always remember when dealing with series and parallel resistors is the voltage across each resistor in parallel will be the same as defined in Kirchhoff Voltage Law and the current across each resistor in series will be the same by Kirchhoff Current Law.

Two resistors when combined in series or parallel give 0.67 kilo ohms?

When two resistors are combined in series or parallel and result in the same equivalent resistance of 0.67 kilo ohms, it indicates a specific relationship between their resistances. In series, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances, while in parallel, the total resistance is found using the formula ( \frac{1}{R_{total}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} ). The equality of the two configurations suggests a unique balance between the resistors' values. This situation can occur under certain conditions, but typically, the resistances must be carefully selected to achieve this result.


How can resistance be calculated by?

Resistance can be calculated using Ohm's Law, which states that resistance (R) is equal to the voltage (V) across a component divided by the current (I) flowing through it: ( R = \frac{V}{I} ). Additionally, in a circuit with multiple resistors, total resistance can be calculated using series and parallel formulas. For resistors in series, the total resistance is the sum of individual resistances, while for resistors in parallel, the total resistance can be found using the formula ( \frac{1}{R_{total}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \ldots ).

Is there going to be any more series of school of comedy?

Hi ,i have spoken to a member of school of comedy myself and have found out directly from the source that they are rehearsing for a second series at the moment and aren't 100% sure yet if there definitely will be but if we keep up our support then their probably will be !i love school of comedy

How many paths do electrons have to follow?

Electrons in an atom do not follow specific paths like objects moving in space. Instead, they exist within regions around the nucleus called electron orbitals, where they have a probability of being found. The paths they might take are more accurately described as probability distributions rather than fixed trajectories.
