Question

write all the differences between parallel combination and series combination.
class 10

Answer 1

Series Circuits
The current is the same in every resistor; this current is equal to that in the battery.
The sum of the voltage drops across the individual resistors is equal to the voltage rating of the battery.
The overall resistance of the collection of resistors is equal to the sum of the individual resistance values,
Rtot = R1 + R2 + R3 + ...

Parallel Circuits
The voltage is the same across each parallel branch.
The sum of the current in each individual branch is equal to the current outside the branches.
The equivalent or overall resistance of the collection of resistors is given by the equation
1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 ..

Answer 2

1) Series circuits are basic types of electrical circuits in which all components are joined in a sequence so that the same current flows through all of them.

In series circuits, the connection or circuit will not be complete if one component in the series burns out.

Formula for the total resistance of series resistors can be used to determine the total resistance of this circuit: The formula for series resistance is:-

Rtot = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4

2. Parallel circuits are types of circuits in which the identical voltage occurs in all components, with the current dividing among the components based on their resistances, or the impedances.

Parallel circuits will still continue to operate, at least with other components, if one parallel-connected component burns out.



The formula for parallel equivalent resistance is:

1 / Req = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3 + 1/R4.
