* The most common applications for series circuits is in Christmas tree lights and putting a fuse in series with delicate electronic equipment. * Each component in a circuit causes a voltage drop. Therefore, the series circuit should only be used where the voltage drop does not interfere with the proper functioning of the components in the circuit. * On the other hand, where all of the compenents in a circuit require the same supply voltage, then a parelell circuit should be used.

How is the wiring done in houses and or other occupied buildings?
It is in parallel, so one light can be on while others are turned off.
Does light bulb use in series save energy then in parallel?
save MORE energy than if connected in parallel?Yes.Series connections share the same amperage of electricity (in,thru & out each light).Parallel connects each pull their own amperage.If three 30watt, 120volt lights are connected in series, they will share the amperage available( 30/120=.25amp).If three 30watt, 120volt lights in connected in parallel, they will each pull the .25amp, consuming .75amperage, or 90watts.The PARALLEL circuit will burn much brighter than the SERIES circuit.[Added: to expand on that last point: The overall light level, but not individual lamps' intensities, will be higher with the parallel system. The series system would dim all the lamps hence reduce the overall light level. So while reducing electricity consumption, the series configuration would make the room very gloomy - or atmospheric, to taste!]
Where would you find a series circuit?
The main advantage of a series circuits comes from the fact that when you add a power source, its voltage just gets added to voltage of the circuit. This increase in voltage allows you to easily increase the power going to any electrical device just by adding more sources of voltage. In addition, since current is constant across a series circuit, if you have a collection of devices that all require the same or closely related current, a series circuit instantly gets you there. Finally, on a more economical note, since you only need to wire one loop in series (as opposed to multiple in parallel) you will end up using less wire and spending less on materials to create your circuit. However, if you plan on powering multiple devices at once with the ability to remove any of them at any time or want them to have the same voltage and not the same current, you will have little choice but to concede and use a parallel circuit structure instead.
What type of circuit allows you to use appliances in your home at the same time?
A parallel circuit allows you to use multiple appliances in your home at the same time. In a parallel circuit, each appliance is connected to the power source independently, allowing them to operate simultaneously without affecting each other.
When will a series cuircuit work better than a parallel?
There is no 'better' or 'worse' between series or parallel circuits.it all depends on what the circuit is needed to do.The most common example of series circuit, is fairy lights for Xmas trees. It is convenient to use low voltage lamps in series, dividing the mains voltage across them.However if just one lamp should fail, the circuit is broken and no lamps will light.Decorative lights are now being replaced with LED's which are driven by a combination of series and parallel.Using LED's in series, needs only one resistor to limit the current. Fortunately LEDs have a long life and are less likely to go open 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.
How do you use series circuit in a sentence?
This project will require a parallel circuit, not a series circuit.
Do modern homes use electricity that is arranged in series or in parallel circuits?
In a modern home you use parallel circuit's. The reason why they are parallel circuit and not series is For example: say your kitchen light goes off, if that light goes off the others in your house won't. They also use parallel circuit in schools. However, when there is a switch in the circuit, that switch is in series with the load, so you could say that electrical wiring is arranged in series-parallel.
Which type of circuit the parallel circuit are use?
they are used for more power than a series circuit so you should use this one.
What circuit would you use if you were building a house?
A parallel circuit
What is a combination circuit?
It was mentioned that there are two different ways to connect two or more electrical devices together in a circuit. They can be connected by means of series connections or by means of parallel connections. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by series connections, then the circuit is referred to as a series circuit. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by parallel connections, then the circuit is referred to as a parallel circuit. A third type of circuit involves the dual use of series and parallel connections in a circuit; such circuits are referred to as compound circuits or combination circuits. The circuit depicted at the right is an example of the use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuitBy EngineerMuhammad Zaheer Meer GMS
How is the wiring done in houses and or other occupied buildings?
It is in parallel, so one light can be on while others are turned off.
To find the current in a complex circuit it is necessary to know?
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.
Does a flashlight use parallel circuit or series circuit?
A flashlight typically uses a series circuit. In a series circuit, the electrical components are connected in a single path, meaning that the current flows through each component in the circuit. This setup allows for the proper functioning of the flashlight by providing power to the bulb from the batteries.
Does a battery operated toy contain a parallel circuit?
Yes, many toys which use batteries contain parallel and series circuits.
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.
What do combination circuit use?
Compound or combination circuits combine aspects of both parallel and series circuits.
