Series connection has only a single path through which the electron can travell,where as the parallal connection has many paths to travell the electrons.So in a serise connection if one of the component of the circuit is switched off,every other component of the circuit will be switched off.

Fairy lights are usually series connected. The main voltage is divided across the number of lamps. So each individual lamp is low voltage.

Is an ohmmeter connected in series or parallel?

You almost NEVER do. 1) The circuit should be off and/or disconnected when using an ohmmeter. 2) It should be in parallel with the component as far as the rest of the circuit is concerned, but alone in series with the device its measuring.


You are building a string of lights using several bulbs how is the brightness of the lights related to whether you connect the bulbs in series or in parallel?

Overall brightness (not individual bulbs' brightness) will increase when we connect them in parallel & it will decrease when we connect them in series.


What is the advantage of using 2 or more capacitors in parallel in circuits instead of one larger capacitor?

When capacitors are connected in parallel, you add up their capacitances to obtain the overall capacitance of that 'bank'. The main reason for using two capacitors in parallel when decoupling, is that they have a lower overall inductance (electrical resistance in essence) to one large capacitor, which improves the decoupling effect. Using two capacitors also provides better high-frequency filtering for the power bus. One minor advantage of this, is that, you can obtain a certain redundancy when using two smaller capacitors in parallel, instead of only one, as if one capacitor fails, the other still acts to decouple the circuit, to a certain extent.

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.


What is the advantage of using a layer 3 switches in the core of a campus network?

The advantage of using a layer 3 switch is the speed at which it can establish a network connection.


What one advantage of using a parallel circuit rather than a series circuit?

In a parallel circuit, if one component fails, the other components can continue to function. This is because each component has its own separate path for current flow, unlike in a series circuit where the failure of one component can cause all components to stop working.


How are serial pors amd com ports the same?

COM ports transfer data using a serial connection as opposed to a parallel connection.


What is the advantage of using a parallel circuit as opposed to a series circuit?

If a component of a parallel circuit fails, there are complete pathways for electricity to allow the remaining components to carry on functioning. ( For instance if the living room light bulb fails, the kitchen light can still work.) Also, if you link several bulbs in series, the current through them drops and they are dimmer than one on its own, but this doesn't happen with a parallel circuit.

What is a disadvantage of using a parallel circuit?

While a parallel conversion minimizes the risk of major flaws in the new system causing irreparable harm to the business; it also means the cost of running two systems over the period must be incurred. Because running two editions of the same system on the computer could place an unreasonable demand on computing resources, this may be possible only if the old system is largely manual
