series uses 1 line of electricity,(1 cable) so if somewhere along the line breaks, the whole series breaks, like light bulbs in a xmas tree.. whereas if you have parallel, its like a mains pipe running water to your house. . your neighbours pipe mite burst but you'll still get water :) ...transfer energy via electrons

What two circuits one series and one parallel use light bulbs to provide resistance. Both circuits have the same number of light bulbs?
Series circuit gives higher resistance compared to parallel circuit.
Where are parallel circuits used?
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.
Where are parallel circuits found?
parallel circuits can be used for lots of things.Things such as : . Christmas tree lights False for A+
Formula for inductance of series circuits?
AnswerInductances add in series, so the formula is simply L=L1+L2. Inductance is handled in the same manner as resistance in serial and parallel circuits.
What are two ways electric circuits can be arranged?
Electric circuits with 2 terminals can be arranged in "series" or in "parallel". This applies to all 2-terminal circuits - including fundamental components such as resistors, capacitors, or inductors. The term "series" means that an electrical path in an existing circuit is broken and the circuit is connected to the 2 terminals of the break. The term "parallel" means that the electric circuit is connected between 2 existing terminals or nodes of the existing circuit.
What are differences between series and parallel circuits?
In series circuits current will be the same through out the circuit. So whereever we connect the ammeter the same current is registered. But in parallel circuit current will be different in different lines. In parallel circuits the potential difference will be the same but in series pd will be different.
What is the name of the circuit that is neither parallel nor series?
FEEDBACK CIRCUITS. In addition to parallel and series circuits, there are also closed and short circuits.
What are the types of circuits?
The types of circuits are series and parallel!
What is the difference between serial robots and parallel robots?
series and parallel are different types of circuits that a robot can contain
Which circuits is better series or parallel?
parallel is better
What is different between parallel circuit and series circuit?
In the series connection and how there is multiple paths or branches on parallel circuits but in a simple circuit, there is one path.
What are the 2 main electrical circuits?
The two basic types of circuits are series and parallel circuits.
Do bedrooms have parallel or series circuits?
in bedrooms we have parallel circuit.
Which type of Electrical wiring is used in your homes and offices?
Parallel for main circuits and series parallel for lighting circuits.
How are switches in electrical circuits usually wired?
They are wired in parallel, series and series - parallel.
What are the three basic different types of electrical circuits?
In electronics DC stands for direct current. There are three types of circuits in this current. They are the closed, open, and series circuits.
What are the type of circuits used in wiring installation?
The two main types are series and parallel circuits. From these two circuits comes combinations of different series parallel circuits depending on what end results you need.
