Question

difference between series and parallel connection of application​

Answer 1

TOPIC:-

Series and Parallel circuits.

DEFINITION:

SERIES CIRCUIT:

A circuit is said to be connected in series when the same current flows through all the components in the circuit. In such circuits, the current has only one path.

PARALLEL CIRCUIT:

A circuit is said to be parallel when the electric current has multiple paths to flow through. The components that are a part of the parallel circuits will have a constant voltage across all ends.

DETAILED ANSWER:-

• 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.
• 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.

SERIES CIRCUIT:

• The same amount of current flows through all the components.
• In an electrical circuit, components are arranged in a line.
• 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.
• If one component breaks down, the whole circuit will burn out.

PARALLEL CIRCUIT:

• The current flowing through each component combines to form the current flow through the source.
• In an electrical circuit, components are arranged parallel to each other.
• When resistors are put in a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the resistors is the same. Even the polarities are the same.
• Other components will function even if one component breaks down, each has its own independent circuit
