In a parallel circuit the is the same for every leg in the circuit?
voltage
Three identical bulbs are connected in parallel across a 12-V battery If one of the bulbs were removed from its socket then the potential difference measured across the empty socket would be?
12V. Every resistor in a parallel circuit shares the same voltage. It is the current that gets divided.
What is the advantage of a parallel circuit over a series circuit?
In a parallel circuit the failure of one bulb reduces the light of that one bulb. In a series circuit the failure of any bulb causes all bulbs to stop producing light because the circuit itself fails. A break in a series circuit stops the current flow to the whole circuit. A break in a parallel circuit stops the flow only in that parallel branch, not the whole circuit. This independence from system loss by one failure is a parallel advantage.
What is the current of a series-parallel circuit connection?
The current flowing through a series circuit is (voltage between the circuit's ends) / (sum of all resistances in the circuit). The current is the same at every point in the series circuit.
How does the location of the circuit compare to the current at other places in the circuit in a simple circuit?
Reading this question, one kind of has to guess what's being asked. Here's a statementthat may or may not be helpful to the questioner:A series circuit is one in which there's never a point where the current has to decidewhich path to take. There's never a point where the current can split, and there's onlyone possible route all the way through the circuit.In a series circuit, the magnitude of the current is the same at every point.
What is the advantage of a parallel circuit over a series circuit.?
In a parallel circuit, all the external resistors are supplied the same potential difference which is not possible in a series circuit. Also in a parallel circuit, every resistor or component can be individually turned on or off without affecting the rest of the circuit.
Is the potential difference across an electric circuit with no element drawing current from it the same at every pt?
Yes, in a circuit with no current draw, the potential difference is the same at every point in the circuit. This is due to the conservation of energy principle in electric circuits.
In a parallel circuit the is the same for every leg in the circuit?
voltage
How much voltage does each branch of a parallel circuit?
Yes. The voltage across every branch of a parallel circuit is the same. (It may not be the supply voltage, if there's another component between the power supply and either or both ends of the parallel circuit.)
Three identical bulbs are connected in parallel across a 12-V battery If one of the bulbs were removed from its socket then the potential difference measured across the empty socket would be?
12V. Every resistor in a parallel circuit shares the same voltage. It is the current that gets divided.
What si th difference between a series and parallel circuit?
The primary difference between a series and a parallel circuit is how many pathways the current has to travel in. Let's look at both of them and see what's up. In a simple series circuit, there is only one path for current. The current must flow through every component in the circuit.
Is a plug in a series or parallel circuit?
Every outlet in your house, and everything in your house that's plugged into an outlet, is in parallel.
What is the difference in parallel circuit and series circuit?
In a series type circuit, the electric current passes through each element of the circuit (light bulb or whatever) in sequence; it does not reach any element until it has first passed through all the earlier elements. In a parallel type circuit, every element of the circuit receives its electric current independently. A separate wire connects each element to the source of the current rather than to the previous element of the circuit.
What is the difference between series circuit and a parallel circuit?
For parallel circuit , each & every component shares 2 common connections . But for series circuit , each of them share 1 common connection .In electrical , each component has their own amount of current flowing through ( depending on the resistance of each ) and sharing the same voltage drop for parallel circuit . In case of series circuit , each component shares the same amount of current with each other & the voltage drop across each of them is different ( depending on their resistance ) .
Is the wiring in your house parallel circuit?
Every single electrical outlet in your house is in parallel with every other outlet in your house. All of yours are also in parallel with every outlet in every neighbor's house that shares the same pole transformer with your house.,

Do all branches in a parallel circuit have to be on?
No, they do not. Think of it this way. Your house is one huge parallel circuit. Not every branch is on all the time. You turn switches on and off to turn individual branches on and off at will.
