yes
Answer for UK SystemThe answer is yes, as all the outlets will be supplied from the same ring main.
lf all resistors are in parallel, yes. If they are in series, not necessarily - this depends on the resistor values (if they are all the same, then yes, if not no).
complex circuit
While many of the terminal parts of a circuit may be a series element, in most circuits there will be both series and parallel components. Neither is superior - they both have their appropriate applications.
When all parts of a circuit are composed of conducting materials, the circuit is said to be closed. One condition could be a closed circuit, however it could be open if the components are not assembled or are assembled incorrectly.
Parallel circuits are used when there are many electronics on the same circuit, such as Christmas lights, for example. If they were on a series circuit, if one bulb went out all of them would go out. In your home, parallel circuits allow you to turn any electrical device on or off, independently of the others.
No. In a 20 amp circuit all wire has to be 12 AWG or larger.
All receptacles in a garage must be GFCI protected by code. Typically, the first receptacle in the circuit (location is irrelevant) must be a GFCI, then all others down stream in the circuit will be protected, and can be common receptacles.
No, not in the North American electrical system. Opening up a neutral on a three wire circuit could create a series circuit if two devices are plugged into the same receptacle. This is how kitchen counter receptacles are wired in all new homes.
In home wiring usually either all of a room's receptacles are on a separate circuit or two rooms share the same circuit. From the point of view from the circuit breaker there is no difference, the circuit will open when the breaker's limit has been reached. The advantage of having receptacles all around the room is for convenience, as different electrical equipment can be plugged in where the person want the device to be. The main reason to use a power strip is when more than two electrical devices are needed to be in close approximation with each other. A good example of this would be a component entertainment center.
You can wire a dimmer into any circuit. The issue is where you do it for a specific outlet. The dimmer would just have to connect to a single outlet and not all outlets on the same circuit. The issue is getting a dimmer that is compatible with the device you are dimming. Some lighting requires special dimmers.
The circuit probably tripped because too many things were plugged into the receptacles or there is a short in the wiring that leads to that area. If you can find your circuit box, look to see if any of the little switches appear to be in the off position. Unplug everything from those receptacles. Flip the switch to the on position. If it stays in that position, plug everything back in one thing at a time until something trips the circuit again. (If you are able to plug everything back in, it may have been a power surge that tripped the circuit. )If the switch will not stay in the on position even if nothing is plugged in, call an electrician. Those circuit breakers are there for safety.
A series circuit has the same amount of current at all points in the circuit.CommentIt's not simply 'the same amount of current at all points''; it's the same current at all points.
A series circuit
Parallel circuit.
Two receptacles on a branch circuit, each in parallel, both in series with the circuit breaker. The blower motor, ignition transformer, and oil solenoid on an oil burner, each in parallel, all in series with the acquastat (water temperature control switch).
Yes, the current is the same at every point in a series circuit.
