difference between series and parallel circuit
Answers
Answer:
Parallel circuits use branches that have different circuit elements, be them resistors, inductors, capacitors or other electrical elements, among them. Series circuits, by contrast, arrange all of their elements in a single, closed loop.
Answer:
Explanation:
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. And 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=V3
