1) Distinguish between series combination and parallel combination.
Answers
Explanation:
The major difference between series and the parallel circuit is the amount of current that flows through each of the components in the circuit. In a series circuit, the same amount of current flows through all the components placed in it. On the other hand, in parallel circuits, the components are placed in parallel with each other due to which the circuit splits the current flow. The current flowing from the source will be divided into the current flowing through each of these components.
Difference Between Series and Parallel Circuits
Series Parallel
The same amount of current flows through all the components The current flowing through each component combines to form the current flow through the source.
In an electrical circuit, components are arranged in a line In an electrical circuit, components are arranged parallel to each other
When resistors are put in a series circuit, the voltage across each resistor is different even though the current flow is the same through all of them. When resistors are put in a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the resistors is the same. Even the polarities are the same
If one component breaks down, the whole circuit will burn out. Other components will function even if one component breaks down, each has its own independent circuit
If Vt is the total voltage then it is equal to V1+V2+V3 If Vt is the total voltage then it is equal to V1=V2
Answer:
Series combination has negative plate of one capacitor is connected to positive plate of the other and so on. While Parallel combination has positive plates of all the capacitors connected to one common terminal. The negative plates step connected to another common terminal.
