If three 6 volt batteries are connected in series the overall voltage in circuit is?

Regardless of the number and value of the resistors, total voltage drop in a series circuit will equal the voltage rise, or the applied voltage. Apply 6 volts to three series resistors and the sum of the voltage drops will be 6 volts. No mystery here. Think it through and it will lock in. To get you ready for more "advanced" analysis, Kirchhoff said the algebraic sum of the voltages in any closed loop is zero. Going all the way around a series circuit, we'd encounter the battery, and all the series resistors. The battery is a voltage rise, and the resistors are voltage drops. The polarity of a voltage rise is opposite that of a voltage drop. This means that when they are added algebraically, if they are equal, they will sum to zero. Work this with a battery connected across a single resistor to get a handle on it. You'll need the ideas to manage calculations in loops of parallel circuits. Remember that in any closed loop, the algebraic sum of the voltages is zero.


Electricity will flow only if an electrical circuit is?

if an electric circuit has potential difference. Electricity will flow only if an electrical circuit is closed.


What is loop resistance?

It depends somewhat on context. A dc circuit consists of of a flow of current to the load and back to the source. This is often called the loop. The loop resistance would be the total resistance measured in ohms. In most power circuits the above would hold true in an ac circuit as well.


Why we don't prefer open loop configuration in case of linear circuit?

A: OPEN LOOP means the gain can be very high without the means to control the loop chances are that it will either saturate or oscillate

What kind of circuit is one in which all parts are connected in a single loop?

That is a series circuit, all parts have the same current flowing through, and the voltages add up.


How is a series circuit constructed?

A series circuit is a simple circuit, a circuit that simply goes round in a loop without any branches off. Often, these circuits have just a battery, an appliance and a switch. A lamp is an example of one of these.


When will a negative feedback amplifier circuit be unstable?

It will oscillate if the loop gain exceeds 1 when the phase difference round the loop is 360 degrees. The frequency of oscillation is set by the loop phase being equal to 360 degrees.

What do Kirchhoff's voltage law mean?

Both of Kirchhoff's laws are simple conservation laws:Kirchhoff's voltage law means that voltage must be conserved around every loop in a circuit, no voltage can be gained or lost by traversing a loop, which is usually stated as the sum of the voltages around a loop (for every loop in the circuit) must be zero.Kirchhoff's current law means that current must be conserved at every node in a circuit, no current can be gained or lost by any branch connected to a node, which is usually stated as the sum of the currents in all branches connected to a node (for every node in the circuit) must be zero.

Why must resistance never be measured in an active circuit?

First of all, in an active circuit, there are voltages flowing through various nodes. If you try to measure the resistor, those voltages will cause error in your meter, or may damage your meter. Second of all, even if you cut the power, any loop in the circuit around the resistor will affect the measured impedance. Unless you are certain that only the resistor will see the current introduced by the meter, you must take the resistor out of circuit to measure it.


What kind of circuit electricity can travel along more than one path?

In just about all of them. The idea of current flowing in a loop is a lies to children simplification. In anything more complicated than a torch or a doorbell, the elctricity flows along many different paths.The grown-up version is embodied in Kirchhoff's laws:1) The algebraic sum of the currents entering a node is zero.Algebraic sum here means that if you arbitrarily call currents entering a node positive, and currents leaving the node negative (or vice versa) and add them all up, it always comes to zero. It's just a fancy way of saying that the total current coming in is equal to the total current going out. In other words, a node (any single point in a circuit) does not store charge.2) The algebraic sum of the voltages around a given loop is zero.Algebraic sum here means that you arbitrarily choose a direction around the loop. Increases in voltage as you traverse the loop are counted as positive, decreases as negative. It's just a cute way of saying that all the positive voltages are cancelled out by negative voltages.Now, if you ever see a circuit diagram for your TV set or whatever, you won't be expecting a single path for the electricity to flow around!But in simple circuits like the circuit in a flashlight, there is only one current path.

When a circuit is not commpletly connected it is an?

In a single loop circuit (series circuit) this will be an open circuit. If there is a current loop of some type, there's a complete path already, and thus no classification such as open or short circuited. It simply an incomplete circuit.
