By 'moving charges' I assume you mean 'electrons'. The electrons will move in a random fashion whether we're talking about DC or AC. However, the electrons will move in 1 general direction in DC while they will move back and forth in AC. one pathway

How many paths through which charge can flow be shown in a circuit diagram of a series circuit?

In a series circuit, there is only one path for the flow of charge. The components are connected end-to-end, creating a single, continuous loop for the current to travel through.


How many paths through which charge can flow would be shown in a circuit diagram of a series circut?

In a series circuit, there is only one path for the charge to flow from the power source through various components back to the power source. This is because the components are connected one after the other in a single loop.


What is phase diagram in series LCR circuit?

A phase diagram in a series LCR circuit shows the phase relationship between current and voltage at different frequencies. It helps in understanding the leading or lagging nature of current with respect to voltage. The diagram typically shows a phase shift between voltage and current, with the direction and magnitude of the shift depending on the circuit's impedance at a given frequency.


In a series circuit what is the same at every point?

Current. There is only one path that current can take through the circuit, so the current must be the same at every point.


Does current in the lamps occur simultaneously or does charge flow first through one lamp then the other and finally the last in turn?

Currents are either flowing or they are not. However these lamps are hooked up, series or parallel, the minute current starts flowing through a circuit it is moving throughout the entire circuit.

What is a series diagram?

When the lamps are in a loop, one after the other: we call this a series circuit.


What is the iffrence between a series circuit and parallel circuit?

Series circuit: elements are connected one after the other; the current (the electrons, or other charge carriers) has to pass through each of the elements in turn. Parallel circuit: elements are connected in such a way that part of the current will pass through one circuit element, part through the other.


Does the bulb light up in a parallel circuit?

The bulb will shine as long as it is still part of a complete circuit. You probably have a diagram for such a circuit. See if you can still trace a path through the battery and one of the bulbs without passing through the other bulb. For comparison, try the same thing with a diagram of a series circuit.

A circuit that has only one path for electricity to flow through?

A circuit with only one path for electricity to flow through is called a series circuit. In a series circuit, the components are connected end-to-end, so the current flows through each component in sequence. If one component fails, the entire circuit will be broken.


Difference between series and parallel circuits?

The answer to this question is that in a parallel circuit there is more that one circuit or form of energy the circuit. In a series circuit there is only one form of energy in that circuit. Hope this helped you and gave you the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 :) if you look at a diagram of a parallel circuit, it looks like a ladder, where as a series circuit diagram looks like a rectangle <><><> "What are the differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?" In a series circuit there is only one path for the electric current to flow. If this path is broken, then the current will no longer flow and all the devices in the circuit will stop working. So if you hook up a bunch of light bulbs together, and one goes out, they all go out, and that can be a problem. In a parallel circuit there is more than one oath for the electric current to pass through. The current continues to flow through the other paths. So if one light bulb goes out of 20 goes out in a parallel circuit, they won't all go out, unlike a series circuit.
