What do parallel circuit NOT have in common with series circuit?

Answer 1

A parallel circuit is different in many ways from a series circuit:

1. In parallel, the voltage across all the devices connected is the same.

2. If a fault occurs in any device connected in parallel combo, then it has no effect on the operation of the other device.

3. In series circuit the current flowing through all the devices is the same while in case of the parallel one the voltage across all the devices is same.

Answer 2

A parallel circuit has two elements side by side. In parallel the current is divided between the elements meaning they do not necessarily have the same current. A the elements in a parallel circuit do see the same voltage. In a series circuit both elements see the same current but will have different voltages across them.

Answer 3

In DC circuits , parallel circuits are positive to positive , and negative to negative connections. Series circuits are negative to positive , negative to positive , using the two ends negative and positive as the connection to the device to be powered. Series circuits increase voltage , parallel circuits increase amperage.

Answer 4

both need battery for power the system.

*********************************

Not necessarily. They can be powered, via suitable circuitry, by d.c. obtained from the domestic a.c. supply.

Answer 5

Parallel circuits have several things that are not in common with series circuit.

• First, parallel circuits have the same voltage across the different elements, whereas series circuit have the same current going through the different elements.
• If you are trying to find the total resistance across a parallel circuit and compare it to a series circuit, you have to use different equations.

• For the series circuit: Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3 + etc...

• For the parallel circuit: 1/Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + etc...

I hope that helps.

Answer 6

In a parallel circuit, the components are connected in separate branches, allowing different amounts of current to flow through each branch. In a series circuit, the components are connected in a single path, forcing the same amount of current to flow through each component. This difference in current flow is a key distinction between parallel and series circuits.

Answer 7

a parralel circuit is different from a series circuit because if one thing goes out in a parralel circuit nothing else goes out. If something goes out in a series circuit everything goes out
