A series circuit will produce more voltage. For example, two 12 volt automotive batteries both have a 600 amp capacity.

Connect the 2 batteries in series and you will have 24 volts with 600 amp capacity.

Connect the 2 batteries in parallel and you will have 12 volts with 1200 amp capacity.

Which cicuits light the bulb better-Bulbs light better in which kind of circuits?

If you are comparing parallel vs series circuits, light bulbs produce more light in parallel circuits.


What are the differences between parallel circuit and series circuit?

Parallel circuits can have more than one way around the circuit I.e. ______O______ |______O_____| |_____|-______| Series circuits only have one way around the circuit I.e. ______O______ |______|-_____| Key: __ or | = wire O = light |- = battery/cell


An advantage of having household circuits in parallel is that?

If they were in series you would have no power every time a tool or light bulb broke down


How do you build a series circuit in your home?

You do not build a series circuit in your home. The only series circuits are the circuits that go through circuit breakers, light switches, and relays. Electrical and electronic devices use internal series circuits but those are the only ones people build. No one builds series circuits for house wiring. Electrical outlets are connected with parallel wiring.


What are the two basic types of electric circuits?

There are many different types of circuits, but, in basic electricity, perhaps the two most common types of circuits are parallel and series.A parallel-connected circuit is one in which the current divides into two or more flows with at least one load on each flow, whereas a series circuit has only one flow that passes through two or more consecutive loads. The input voltage to a parallel-connected circuit stays constant - so every branch of the circuit gets the same voltage from the power supply - but there is a different current flowing in each branch dependant on the resistance of the loads in that branch. Overall, no current gets lost because any current entering a particular junction (leading to branches) is always equal to the current leaving that junction.In a series-connected circuit the input current stays constant and the voltage is divided amongst the loads which are connected like links in a chain: each load component (a light, a resistor, etc.) is connected "head to tail" to the next one in the series circuit.A more complete answerActually there are four types of circuit, not two. These are series circuits, parallel circuits, series-parallel circuits, and complex circuits.'Complex circuits' (which are not necessarily complicated) describe any circuit that is not series, parallel, or series-parallel - a Wheatstone Bridge is an example of a complex circuit.The techniques for solving series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits cannot be used for solving complex circuits. Instead, network theorems, such as Thevenin's and Norton's Theorems must be used.

Are the light in your school connected in series circuits or parallel circuits?

Typically they are both. Most are paralleled from the breaker and then serial from each power switch.

What is a combination circuit?

It was mentioned that there are two different ways to connect two or more electrical devices together in a circuit. They can be connected by means of series connections or by means of parallel connections. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by series connections, then the circuit is referred to as a series circuit. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by parallel connections, then the circuit is referred to as a parallel circuit. A third type of circuit involves the dual use of series and parallel connections in a circuit; such circuits are referred to as compound circuits or combination circuits. The circuit depicted at the right is an example of the use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuitBy EngineerMuhammad Zaheer Meer GMS
