In series, each device creates a voltage drop related to the current and impedence of the device, therefore, the voltage for the devices in the circuit are not the same.
Addition:
Also, in a series circuit, if one device fails, all others in the circuit would also "turn off" - think older strands of Christmas lights.
Lets say for example that all the lights in your house were in a series circuit. When you turned the circuit on, all the lights would come on, but when you turn the switch off, all the lights would also go off (possibly useful when leaving for the day or going to bed). Now, one light bulb blows out...every light in the house would go out, leaving you to try replacing every light in the house until you found the correct one...in the dark.
What else can I help you with?
How are ammeters added to circuits?
Ammeters are added in series to the circuit to be monitored.
What is prediction when one bulb removed in series connection?
It will all just turn off. Because with a series circuit the power travels through each light bulb in a series (one after another) so if it is interrupted by there being a burned out or removed bulb, the circuit will not be complete and thus not work at all. If you want to see for yourself, most Christmas lights are series circuits, go ahead and take one out.
When is it usually desirable to connect cells in series?
In electronics circuits current is common in series circuits and voltage is common across parallel circuits. LEDs in series draw less current, but require more voltage. Total power remains the same until multiple drivers are introduced in a parallel configuration.
How does pi have to do with engineering?
Basically Pi 3.14.... Etc. is the number that is used for circles. Should you want to build a building with a cirlce roof you'll need to find the circumference. Basically you multiply pi with the diameter and you get the circumference. There is a lot more to it than that; pi turns up in many contexts which aren't about circles. One is Fourier series, used in problems ranging from the distribution of heat in physics to acoustics, image analysis, and in filters in circuits in electrical and computer engineering. The formulas for Fourier series involve pi. I think you will find that pi turns up in every branch of engineering.
What is meant by equivalent resistance of a series combination?
Answer: The equivalent resistance of a series of resistors is as follows:Suppose you have three 120 Ohm resistors:A---/\/R1\/\------/\/R2\/\------/\/R3\/\---BThe equivalent resistance of point A to point B is the resistance of R1, R2 and R3 in series.Suppose we would want to replace R1, R2 and R3 with a single resistor, R4:A---/\/R4\/\---BThe resistance of R4 would be 360 Ohms, since equivalent resistance of a series combination is:Req = R1 + R2 + R3Answer: What is meant by equivalent resistance is that if you replace (for example) two or three circuits with whatever you calculate (see the other reply, above) as the "equivalent resistance", the effect on the circuit in general will be the same. For example, the same amount of current will flow.
What is so good about living on a farm?
Well, if you lived on a "good" farm, you wouldnt want your crops to be hailed on. Or you wouldnt want a cayote to eat your cattle for la cena.
Name something you wouldnt want people to do to your car?
Sit on it.
What do the electric circuits do in your home?
They carry the power to where you want to use it, like for lights, TVs, computers, cookers, washers, fans, etc.
How are ammeters added to circuits?
Ammeters are added in series to the circuit to be monitored.
Can you eat a normal chicken?
Yes. Wouldnt want to eat an abnormal one.
What are some cons about being a chef?
you wouldnt be with your family as much as you would want to be
Why are sensor circuits blue?
Because they want to be:)
Why does the world love SpongeBob SquarePants?
because he lives in bikini bottom.... who wouldnt want to do that?? :)
What requirEments does bank need from persons who has business plan?
if you want i wouldnt agree but sure why not
Why did the government not want women to vote?
Becuase they wouldnt have enough time to make sandwhiches
When would you use a series and when would you use a parallel circuit?
* The most common applications for series circuits is in Christmas tree lights and putting a fuse in series with delicate electronic equipment. * Each component in a circuit causes a voltage drop. Therefore, the series circuit should only be used where the voltage drop does not interfere with the proper functioning of the components in the circuit. * On the other hand, where all of the compenents in a circuit require the same supply voltage, then a parelell circuit should be used.
How do kids write plays?
Might want to check out Home Movies, the TV series, for clues about that. :)
