Almost everything is arranged in that way.

Housing electricity is arranged with almost only parallel circuits so they can have the same voltage everywhere

But if you need not 100, 120 or 127 Vac in some point, you put a resistance in series to where you need another voltage. In this way the voltage is consumed by that resistance and lowed to the desired level. You have to calculate the resistance first.

Almost every electronical circuit has series and parallel and in macro scale, almost every device has 100, 120, 127, 200, 208, 220, 240 needs so you dont need a resistance to absorb power and all terminals in the building has the same or two of them at least.

What is made up of series and parallel circuits?

Series circuits and parallel circuits how do they differ?

Components connected in series are connected along a single path, so the same current flows through all of the components.Components connected in parallel are connected so the same voltage is applied to each component


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.


The differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

In a series circuit, electrons flow through all the components one after another. If one fails (break), the whole circuit is no longer live. All the resistances are also added up in a series circuit. The current (measured in amps) is the same throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit, electrons flow through smaller circuits all coming from the same source. The amperage is different in each circuit based on the resistance offered. The one wire running to all the smaller circuits has higher current than any of the small offset circuits. Removing one thing will not affect the other smaller circuits as electrons can still flow. Current will be affected, of course.


How do you find total voltage in a series circuit?

In a series circuit:Add up the individual resistances of each component.The sum is the effective (total) resistance.In a parallel circuit:-- Take the reciprocal of each individual element.-- Add up all the reciprocals.-- Take the reciprocal of the sum.The answer is the effective (total) resistance.If you have a complex circuit with both series and parallel sections in it:-- First, find the effective resistance of each parallel section, and replace each onewith a single equivalent resistance.-- Now you're left with only a series circuit to solve, by summing the individual resistances.

Is there a similarity in a series circuit and 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.

How are parallel circuits and series circuits alike?

in parallel the voltage stays the same in parallell the current is shared in series the voltage is shared in series the current stays the same the main similarity between parallel and series circuits is when voltage increases, current increases.


What is the advantage of a parallel circuit over a series circuit?

In a parallel circuit the failure of one bulb reduces the light of that one bulb. In a series circuit the failure of any bulb causes all bulbs to stop producing light because the circuit itself fails. A break in a series circuit stops the current flow to the whole circuit. A break in a parallel circuit stops the flow only in that parallel branch, not the whole circuit. This independence from system loss by one failure is a parallel advantage.


Where are series circuits in a computer?

A series circuit is a way of connection components of an electrical circuit. A circuit that is made up solely of components connected in a series is known as a series circuit.

Is Voltage the same all parts of a series circuit?

Voltage is an electrical force or pressure that causes current to flow in a circuit. It is an additive in a series circuit.


Is series parallel the same as parallel?

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.
