What is the formula to find out the total resistace of the series parellel circuit?

i think first one should find out the series resistance that is R1+R2+R3 and after that parellel resistance that is 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3 and after that add the series resistance and parellel resistance to get the total resistance


What are the disadvantages of parellel circuits?

Well, if they do not find any in the first 10 years most people stop looking.

Because if one light burns out, all the lights will go out.


How do you build a series circuit in your home?

You do not build a series circuit in your home. The only series circuits are the circuits that go through circuit breakers, light switches, and relays. Electrical and electronic devices use internal series circuits but those are the only ones people build. No one builds series circuits for house wiring. Electrical outlets are connected with parallel wiring.
