A series circuit is like the old string of Christmas Tree lights. If any bulb burns out none of the others light because the circuit is now open. The same would happen if you used series wiring in a house. Another draw back is the number of devices in series governs how much voltage would be across each device.
yes. a parallel circuit is made up of many series curcuits. so therefore, without the series curcuit you could not have a parallel curcuit.
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.
The outlets in your house are in parallel with each other. If your question is is your TV in series with something else plugged into your house, it is not, it is in parallel (since your house wiring is in parallel). The giveaway for series or parallel circuits is if you remove one element in a series circuit, you will kill all other elements. In a parallel circuit, there shouldn't be a noticeable difference. For example, if you have a surge protector plugged into your wall, and a lamp plugged into your wall, and your TV and DVD player are plugged into the surge protector: The surge protector is in SERIES with your TV and DVD player The surge protector is in PARALLEL with your lamp The DVD player and TV are in PARALLEL
the source voltage and the total impedanceAnswerA 'complex circuit' describes a category of circuit that is neither series, parallel, nor series-parallel. A relatively-simple example of a complex circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge. You cannot analyse or resolve a complex circuit using the techniques used to analyse and resolve series, parallel, or series-parallel circuit. Instead you must use one or other of the various electrical theorems. For example, to determine the currents flowing in a Wheatstone Bridge circuit, you could use Kirchhoff's Laws or Thevenin's Theorem.
4.5 volts in series; 1.5 volts in parallel.
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel

Series and parallelImproved AnswerThere are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex. 'Complex' is a 'catch-all', used to describe circuits that are not series, parallel, or series-parallel. An example of a 'complex' circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge circuit.
Parallel.
It is easier to rectify problems if the electrical connections are wired in series. Why? Because with components wired in series the continuity between them can easily be checked to find out exactly where the problem is, whereas, in a parallel circuit, there are several paths so it is more difficult to discover a problem. It is easier to do if the parallel circuit is separated into several small series sections which can be tested one by one.
series circuit
No, series parallel, as it implies has components of the circuit configured in both series and parallel. This is typically done to achieve a desired resistance in the circuit. A parallel circuit is a circuit that only has the components hooked in parallel, which would result in a lower total resistance in the circuit than if the components were hooked up in a series parallel configuration.
In a series circuit, if any one bulb goes open the rest of the lights will go out. The current flow in a series circuit is common throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit when one bulb goes open the rest remain on due to the configuration of a parallel circuit.
A parallel circuit
yes. a parallel circuit is made up of many series curcuits. so therefore, without the series curcuit you could not have a parallel curcuit.
series other name current series and parallel is voltage
