What else can I help you with?
When adding more component's why does it reduce the current in a series circuit but that this does not happen in a parallel circuit?
In a series circuit, adding more components increases the total resistance, which reduces the overall current according to Ohm's Law (I = V/R). This is because the same current flows through each component, and additional resistance limits the flow. In contrast, in a parallel circuit, each component provides an alternative path for current, so adding more components decreases the total resistance, allowing more current to flow through the circuit. Thus, while series circuits see a reduction in current with added components, parallel circuits experience an increase.
What happen if you change the position of ammeter in the circuit in parallel and series?
-- In a series circuit, no matter where you install the ammeter, it will always read the same current. -- In a parallel circuit, the ammeter may read a different current when it's moved to a different parallel branch.
In a combination of a parallel and series circuit what would happen if a light bulb was unscrewed?
In a parallel circuit nothing would happen. All the other light bulbs would remain on since there is an alternative path for current to flow. In a series circuit the entire circuit would be de-energized and all the bulbs would go out.
Fuse should be connected to a circuit by parallel?
Fuse is a circuit element which disconnects the electrical current from the mains"supply" feeding the load when a condition of fault "short circuit " occurs. one behaviour of electric current that it flows undivided in circuit elements connected in series and is divided when flows in circuit elements connected in parallel. so in order to protect a circuit fuse MUST be connected in series to cut/disconnect the faulty current in a safe/short time. if u connect a fuse in parallel to a component then u will be shorting that component and the component will not function ;because the fuse is a thin wire with a negligible resistance and electrical current flows in the most easy "less resistive" component. besides a short circuit will happen immediatly because u connectthe supply to the neutral! hope that helps.
What will happen if part of the circuit is not properly connected?
Current stops flowing.

What happen if you reduced the number of devices on each parallel circuit?
The overall current will decrease by subtracting the current used by each device.
What would happen if a lamp was unscrewed from a parallel circuit?
There will be no change, because it is a parallel circuit.
What would happen if you added one battery to a parallel circuit of two light bulbs?
Adding one more battery to a parallel circuit of two light bulbs would increase the voltage across the entire circuit. This would cause both light bulbs to shine more brightly as they receive more power. It will not affect the current flowing through the circuit but will boost the overall energy provided to the circuit.
What will happen in a parallel circuit if one of the loops is broken?
If one loop is broken in a parallel circuit, the other branches will continue to operate independently. The current flow through the intact loops will not be affected by the open branch.
What will happen to the two lights in a parallel circuit when one of the wires is disconnected?
If one of the wires in a parallel circuit is disconnected, the two lights will remain lit because each light has its own separate path for current flow. This is because in a parallel circuit, the components are connected across the same voltage source but have individual branches for current to flow.
What would happen if a wire in a parallel circuit broke?
All of the current would travel down the remaining intact wire - possibly overheating.
What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.
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 will happen if you change polarity in parallel circuit?
If you reverse the polarity in a parallel circuit, the components will still function but the direction of current flow through each component will be reversed. This could lead to a change in the behavior of any polarized components in the circuit, such as diodes or electrolytic capacitors. It is important to ensure that the components can handle the reversed polarity to prevent damage.
In a combination of a parallel and series circuit what would happen if a light bulb was unscrewed?
In a parallel circuit nothing would happen. All the other light bulbs would remain on since there is an alternative path for current to flow. In a series circuit the entire circuit would be de-energized and all the bulbs would go out.
What happen when there is a break in the path circuit?
Current through that part of the circuit will stop.
