Pinball games use complex arrays of series and parallel circuits. So do electric stoves.
But let's look at a simple one ... a toaster.
The toaster has several heating elements ... maybe four individual heating wires, one on each side
of the bread slot, and two bread slots in the machine. They're all in parallel ... one end of each heater
goes to one prong of the electric plug, and the other end of each heater goes to the other end of the plug.
BUT ... in series with one group of heater ends is a very important circuit element: the Switch.
When the switch is in a high-resistance state ("OFF"), no current flows through any branch in the
parallel section, i.e. the heaters remain cold. When the switch is in the low-resistance state ("ON"),
current flows through all of the parallel branches, and the result is toast.

In what type of appliance would you use a circuit with batteries in parallel?
Batteries in parallel is not recommended. Not unless they are equalized. the appliances can be one guess since the battery only see a load
What is the use of parallel circuit?
It is very beneficial to have a parallel circuit... for example: 1. If one light in a parallel circuit goes out, the other light bulbs will remain lit Whereas if a light in a series circuit goes out, all bulbs will go out 2. If not all light bulbs are needed on, you can turn them off with the remaining light bulbs staying on
Which type of circuit the parallel circuit are use?
they are used for more power than a series circuit so you should use this one.
In science to prevent overloading in a parallel circuit you could install a what?
you can use a fuse or circuit breaker
The total resistance in a parallel circuit is the smallest resistor in the circuit?
No, it is less. Use the formula:1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3...Where R is the total (equivalent) resistance for the parallel circuit,and R1, R2, etc. are the individual resistance.No, it is less. Use the formula:1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3...Where R is the total (equivalent) resistance for the parallel circuit,and R1, R2, etc. are the individual resistance.No, it is less.

Can you use32amp circuit for a 15amp appliance?
If it is a 32-amp circuit you can use any appliance that takes less than 32 amps. That includes a 15-amp appliance. All appliances fed from that circuit must use 32 amps or less in total.
What circuit would you use if you were building a house?
A parallel circuit
How do you use series circuit in a sentence?
This project will require a parallel circuit, not a series circuit.
Why you use inductor?
we use the inductor because it helps the circuit to have an appropriate amount of current, so that the circuit in the appliance will say longer.
Can you use a fifty amp circuit breaker for a forty amp appliance?
Yes.
Which type of circuit the parallel circuit are use?
they are used for more power than a series circuit so you should use this one.
Can you use 265 volt appliance on a 220 volt line?
Yes, the 265 volts is just the maximum the appliance can handle. You can use it on a 240 volt circuit.
Would you use Series or parallel circuit for Christmas lights?
Yes you would use a serial circuit You would use parallel circuit lights for a Christmas tree because if you used series circuit lights, and one of the bulb blows, the rest of the bulbs will go out. But with parallel circuit lights, if one bulb blows the rest of the bulbs will remain their brightness.
What type of circuit lets you use only one light at a time?
a parallel circuit
Do modern homes use electricity that is arranged in series or in parallel circuits?
In a modern home you use parallel circuit's. The reason why they are parallel circuit and not series is For example: say your kitchen light goes off, if that light goes off the others in your house won't. They also use parallel circuit in schools. However, when there is a switch in the circuit, that switch is in series with the load, so you could say that electrical wiring is arranged in series-parallel.
