How to calculate a parallel circuit with more than one load in its branches?
If a 'parallel' circuit has more than one load in its (not "it's"!) branches, then it is not a parallel circuit, but a series-parallel circuit! To resolve the circuit, you must first resolve the total resistance of the loads within each branch.
Where do you put the switch in a parallel circuit?
Switches used in electrical circuits are wired in series with either a parallel or series load. In parallel loads, the switch is upstream from the parallel circuit, so that the switch will shut off all of the parallel circuits.
How is ammeter and voltmeter attached to a circuit?
Ammeters are connected in series with the load under test. This requires the load be disconnected from the source, and the ammeter placed in circuit. Voltmeters are connected in parallel with the load under test. This does not require any circuit changes. Sorry, but WikiAnswers does not support illustrations.
Which circuit the ammeter connected in parallel?
An ammeter is always connected in series and a vlotmeter in parallel
What trouble that exist in parallel circuit if one of the load in parallel circuit is shorted?
when loads are connected in parallel it means that they share common nodes at both the ends i-e voltage across all the loads is the same. when one of the load in such a circuit is shorted i-e its voltage is made zero volts, voltage across the other loads goes to zero because of parallel connection and they gets shorted also.
Does each load in a parallel have the same circuit?

Does a battery last longer in a series or parallel circuit?
A battery doesn't see a series or parallel circuit. It just supplies the current that is demanded by the load be it a series or parallel load. Visualize that a single load across a battery is both a series and parallel load to the battery.
What is a fact for parallel circuits for kids?
A parallel circuit is a circuit that takes both legs to make a load.
What is a circuit in which loads are connected side by side?
A parallel circuit is a type of circuit where loads are connected side by side. In a parallel circuit, each load has its own path to the power source, allowing them to operate independently of each other. If one load in a parallel circuit fails, the others will continue to function.
How many paths does a parallel circuit have?
a parallel circuit has 2 or more paths.a series circuit has 1 path.a parallel circuit is better for homes and school
What happen when a ammeter is placed in parallel with the circuit?
If an ammeter is placed in parallel with a a load on a circuit, the circuit can short out as the ammeter takes the place of the load, flowing freely through the meter. Never measure across a resister or other electronic load with an ammeter. Remember, ammeters are used in series while voltmeters are used in parallel.
Do you need a switch to control each load in a parallel circuit?
Yes.
Are the three conductors in a single phase 240v circuit considered to be in parallel?
If the three conductors are in a single cable they physically are positioned parallel in relationship to each other. True parallel conductors are combined to split the current. They have to be of equal length and size so that they split the load current between the two or three or four conductors. Conductors are paralleled so that multiple smaller conductors, which are easier to work with, can carry equally the total load current. To answer the question no, the three conductors in a 120/240 circuit are not considered to be in parallel. All three of these conductors could have a different current being carried by them depending on how the load is distributed.

What is the kind of circuit in which an electrical load may be disconnected without affecting other loads?
In a parallel circuit an electrical load may be disconnected without affecting other loads.
What are the three types of circuit's?
the three types of circuits are series, parallel, and series-parallel.AnswerThere are, in fact, four types or categories of circuit, not three! These are series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.The term 'complex' is somewhat misleading, because a 'complex circuit' is not necessarily complicated (although they often are!) but merely the collective name for any circuit that isn't series, parallel, or series-parallel. A simple example of a complex circuit is a bridge circuit, such as Wheatstone's Bridge.
