How can a broken wire affect a series circuit differently than a parallel circuit?

In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit. Any break will totally remove power from all of the circuit.Parallel circuits have more than one branch where the current can flow. A broken wire will only affect one part, the rest of the circuit will still pass current.In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit. Any break will totally remove power from all of the circuit.Parallel circuits have more than one branch where the current can flow.

A light bulb in a simple circuit blows and goes out Is current now flowing in the circuit?

No. Circuit is open but still HOT.


Can you run the dishwasher if the disposal is not working?

Yes, even it is not working, water will still run through it.Yes, even it is not working, water will still run through it.


Does the bulb light up in a parallel circuit?

The bulb will shine as long as it is still part of a complete circuit. You probably have a diagram for such a circuit. See if you can still trace a path through the battery and one of the bulbs without passing through the other bulb. For comparison, try the same thing with a diagram of a series circuit.


Why parallel combination is preferred over series combination?

In a parallel circuit (with more than one branch), the current will still flow in the other circuit(s) even if there is a break in one circuit. This is not so with a series circuit, since it does not have branches: if there is a break in the circuit, there is a break in the circuit.

Why does a circuit stop working when you remove the battery?

The battery is the power source of the circuit. It supplies current to the circuit and the circuit is simply a path for the current to follow. When you remove the current (battery), the path still exists but there is no current going through it.


If lamp switch is ON and if you remove the lamp bulb we still wasting electrict?

no because when you remove the lamp the circuit is still open; even if the switch is on


Why is after changing lamp out brake light still not working?

Fuse, switch, wiring, ground circuit.


What is the dis advantage of using parallel circuit and series circuit?

The disadvantage of a parallel circuit is that if one component fails, the other components will still work, making it harder to identify the faulty component. In a series circuit, if one component fails, it breaks the circuit and all components will stop working.


When headlights are wired in parallel what happens when a bulb isn't working?

In a parallel circuit, the other bulb still works when one fails.

How can I fix outlets that are not working properly?

To fix outlets that are not working properly, first check the circuit breaker to see if it has tripped. If not, turn off the power to the outlet and remove the cover plate to inspect for loose wires or connections. Tighten any loose connections and replace any damaged wires. If the outlet still doesn't work, it may need to be replaced by a qualified electrician.


Which type of circuit will still bulbs if one is burnt out?

Parallel circuit


If you remove one of two bulbs connected to a circuit in a series will the other bulb still shine?

if you have 2 bulbs and one burns out, the other wont shine, if you remove 1 bulb, you are breaking the circuit, and the current cant flow to the second bulb, so no it wouldn't shine.


How do you trace earth fault?

The methodical way is to remove devices one-by-one from the circuit and after each device is removed, reset the breaker or GFCI and see if it still trips.


How do you reset a disposal unit?

To reset a disposal unit, locate the reset button on the bottom of the unit and press it. If the disposal is still not working, check the circuit breaker to ensure it is not tripped.
