In a series circuit, if you open a bulb, current loop will be broken. So, current cannot travel all the wayback, hence no output. But in a parallel circuit, current will be only shared with parallel circuit, but the loop remains closed even if you remove the bulb. So, no change occurs.
What else can I help you with?
Why does electrical current flow along a single path in a series circuit and more than one path in a parallel circuit?
Because there is only a single path in series circuit and many paths in parallel circuit.
Why is the current the same in all locations in series circuit?
Because the current is a flow of electrons, and those aren't created or destroyed.The number of electrons that start out from one battery terminal is the samenumber of electrons that eventually return to the battery's other terminal, afterthe current has been all around the circuit. They're not necessarily the sameelectrons, but the number of them is the same at both ends of the circuit, afternone have been lost and no extra ones have jumped aboard along the way.
Why is the current in a series circuit the same all way round?
The number of electrons coming out of the positive end of the loop must be the same as the number of electrons going into the negative end. If it isn't, then electrons had to be created, or destroyed, or were injected, or leaked out, somewhere along the series loop.
How should a fuse or circuit breaker be used?
Yes there should be an in-line fuse. If there is not an in-line fuse and there is a voltage spike in the vehicle the fuse will pop and disable the circuit where as if there was no fuse the accessory or mechanism could be destroyed. As above suggests, the fuse must be put in series. If it is in parallel, the fuse should blow immediately on completing the circuit, because it is effectively a short, which will cause large current flow into the fuse until it blows. Never, never, never put a fuse in parallel with whatever you want to protect - that defeats the point of the fuse.
What does a parallel circuit do?
A parallel circuit has more than one resistor (anything that uses electricity to do work) and gets its name from having multiple (parallel) paths to move along . Charges can move through any of several paths. If one of the items in the circuit is broken then no charge will move through that path, but other paths will continue to have charges flow through them. Parallel circuits are found in most household electrical wiring. This is done so that lights don't stop working just because you turned your TV off.
Why does electrical current flow along a single path in a series circuit and more than one path in a parallel circuit?
Because there is only a single path in series circuit and many paths in parallel circuit.
What happens to amperage in series and parallel circuits?
In series, Amperage remains constant. In parallel, Amperages are added.
Series circuits and parallel circuits how do they differ?
Components connected in series are connected along a single path, so the same current flows through all of the components.Components connected in parallel are connected so the same voltage is applied to each component
What are parallel circuits and series circuits?
Parallel and Series circuits are the two simples ways of connecting and composing an electrical circuit or electronic circuit. The difference is that the series circuit consist of one single path of electronic flow - where in if one is switch off, all of the remaining switches will be turned off as well. While the parallel circuit consists of two paths - where in even if the other path is swtiched off, the second path won't be wit the stopped flow of electricity.
What is the resistance you n the circuit when 10v2k greek symbol along with4k greek symbol?
In order to calculate the effective combined resistance, we need to know whether they are connected in series or in parallel. We don't know which circuit configuration is indicated when you say "along with".
What similarities are there in series and parallel circuits?
In a series circuit, there is just a single path . In a parallel circuit, there are two or more branches, creating separate pathways along which electrons can flow, so a break in one branch does not affect the flow of electricity in the others.
What is the differnce between series and parallel circuits?
series uses 1 line of electricity,(1 cable) so if somewhere along the line breaks, the whole series breaks, like light bulbs in a xmas tree.. whereas if you have parallel, its like a mains pipe running water to your house. . your neighbours pipe mite burst but you'll still get water :) ...transfer energy via electrons
If the filament of the bulb is broken would the circuit be complete?
If the bulb's filament is broken, the whole circuit becomes open. If the bulb is in a series circuit or is the only bulb, the electricity would no longer flow. If the bulb is in a parallel circuit, along with other bulbs, then only the blown bulb would go out, and the other bulbs would still work.
The differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
In a series circuit, electrons flow through all the components one after another. If one fails (break), the whole circuit is no longer live. All the resistances are also added up in a series circuit. The current (measured in amps) is the same throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit, electrons flow through smaller circuits all coming from the same source. The amperage is different in each circuit based on the resistance offered. The one wire running to all the smaller circuits has higher current than any of the small offset circuits. Removing one thing will not affect the other smaller circuits as electrons can still flow. Current will be affected, of course.
Difference in parallel and series circuits?
If two or more circuit components are connected end to end like a daisy chain, it is said they are connected in series. A series circuit is a single path for electric current through all of its components. Bulbs will get dimmer the further along the chain. If two or more circuit components are connected like the rungs of a ladder it is said they are connected in parallel. A parallel circuit is a different path for current through each of its components. A parallel circuit provides the same voltage across all its components and hence the same brightness of bulb.The voltage is the same in a parallel circuit while the voltage is shared in a series circuit.
How many pathways exits for electricity travel on in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, there is only one path for electricity to travel along the circuit from the power source through each component connected in series back to the power source.
In a series circuit how does the current differ at different places along that circuit?
In a series circuit, current will remain the same through all elements, and the voltage drop across elements will vary. So the answer is: it doesn't.
