Consider t resistors with same Ohmic values. If they are in series total resistance Rt = R1 + R2. if they are in parallel then total resistance Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. Series connection will have higher resistance.

What is the difference between Serial and Parallel Adder?

Some key differences between a Serial and Parallel Adder are that a Serial Adder is slower, a Parallel adder is a combinational circuit and the time required for addition depends on the number of bits in a Serial, but not a Parallel. A Serial Adder is a sequential circuit while a Parallel is a combinational circuit.

A circuit with 4 parallel parts but only one serial part would be called what?

A series/parallel circuit.


Would you use Series or parallel circuit for Christmas lights?

Yes you would use a serial circuit You would use parallel circuit lights for a Christmas tree because if you used series circuit lights, and one of the bulb blows, the rest of the bulbs will go out. But with parallel circuit lights, if one bulb blows the rest of the bulbs will remain their brightness.

What kind of circuits have two or more wires running next to each other?

You can't characterize a circuit type in this way. In a digital circuit a ribbon cable with parallel wires usually indicates a parallel connection as opposed to a serial connection or interface.


What THE best serial or parallel ports?

Usually serial. Parallel is almost completely gone, and serial is getting replaced by USB.


Is the telegraph a serial or parallel device?

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.


Why is a serial circuit called a serial circuit?

Because the loads are accessed in series.
