The average light fixture is likely in series with the light switch, and the utility power grid.

Which type of circuit the parallel circuit are use?

they are used for more power than a series circuit so you should use this one.


How do you use series circuit in a sentence?

This project will require a parallel circuit, not a series circuit.


Why is it not practical to use series connection in your homes?

in a series circuit, if any one item is turned off or unplugged, the entire circuit fails.


Would you use Series or parallel circuit for Christmas lights?

Yes you would use a serial circuit You would use parallel circuit lights for a Christmas tree because if you used series circuit lights, and one of the bulb blows, the rest of the bulbs will go out. But with parallel circuit lights, if one bulb blows the rest of the bulbs will remain their brightness.


How come a series circuit is not used for car headlights?

Because you need to use a parallel circuit. With a series circuit, the car headlights will become dim. This is because, the electricity in a series circuit goes only one way and this means that when there are 2 bulbs, the charges of electricity have to use half of their energy for each bulb.


How does series circuit work in everyday use?

Just about everything you use daily works on a series circuit. The one you'reprobably most familiar with and use immediately every day is a light.The most common everyday series circuits are the electrical circuits found in homesand vehicles, with the difference being the type of voltage used in each one. Homesuse AC (Alternating Current) Voltage, while vehicles use DC (Direct Current) Voltagefrom a 12-volt battery.Another opinion: No, no, no!A light and its switch comprise essentially the only series circuit in your home.Everything else in your home is in parallel. In fact, every outlet in your homeis in parallel with every other outlet, and also in parallel with every outlet inevery home near yours that's powered from the same pole transformer.


How does a house use a series circuit?

The most common form of a series circuit in a house is a circuit breaker (optionally in series with an on-off switch) in series with a load, usually a light bulb.


What two circuits one series and one parallel use light bulbs to provide resistance. Both circuits have the same number of light bulbs?

Series circuit gives higher resistance compared to parallel circuit.


When do you use a series circuit?

In resistive circuits,when you need the same current in the whole circuit,you use series circuit because in series circuit current remains the same.If you have two batteries of 12 volts each,and you need 24 volts you can arrange them in series to get 24 volts you have to connect them combine with opposite terminals.positive of one battery will connected with negative of other battery,and negative of second will connected with the first's battery positive terminal,they are in series now.


Is it possible to use a switch to turn off only one bulb in a series circuit?

No. In a series circuit, current is the same, by Kirchoff's current law, at every point in the circuit, so you either have current at every point, or you have no current at every point.


What are the Recommendations for when to use the series circuit?

This really depends on the scenario. What type electrical circuit are you talking about.


To find the current in a complex circuit it is necessary to know?

the source voltage and the total impedanceAnswerA 'complex circuit' describes a category of circuit that is neither series, parallel, nor series-parallel. A relatively-simple example of a complex circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge. You cannot analyse or resolve a complex circuit using the techniques used to analyse and resolve series, parallel, or series-parallel circuit. Instead you must use one or other of the various electrical theorems. For example, to determine the currents flowing in a Wheatstone Bridge circuit, you could use Kirchhoff's Laws or Thevenin's Theorem.
