What is the total power when several electrical appliances are connected in series?

In a normal household configuration, the appliances are connected in parallel. This allows each of them to draw the amount of current they were designed to operate on. Unless you wired your own extension cord, you cannot connect them in series. Theoretically speaking (I hope you keep this theoretical), the loads in series increases the resistance of the circuit, which decreases the current through the circuit. None of the appliances would work properly. The more you connected, the less functional they become. There may be some other safety issues with their design compromised, but the appliances would not function properly and it is not possible to answer the question without some information about the appliances and power specs for each. Then it can be translated into a mathematical question.


How current coil is connected in energy meter?

It's connected in series with the load.


Can TVs diode can be connected in series to increase the surge current?

No. By Kirchoff's Current Law, components in series all see the same current.


What is a resistor bank?

In simple way resistor bank contains number of resistors in series or parallel combination. They are connected in parallel to decrease the resistance and increase current rating and power dissipation.And they are connected in series to increase resistance and power dissipation.


Will the current reaching a lamp after passing through a resistor in series be equalwhy?

A: Because both item are connected is series. Any resistance connected in series will carry the same current no matter of the resistance value or the number of resistors. However for an incandescence lamp the value will change when turn on and change when it is hot, That is because lamps have different property then resistance when cold and hot

Why is the current source connected in series only?

Current sources should not be connected in series. It's okay to connect them in parallel.


Why are household appliances almost never connected in series?

Because it one of the household appliances were to "go out" then all the household appliances would "go out" as well.


How do you explain the effect of the number of batteries on the amount of current produced?

The number of batteries has only an effect on the amount of current when they are equivalent and connected in parallel. The amount of current that can flow from a group of batteries connected in series is limited to the current provided by the battery that produces the lowest current flow in the string.

When you connect cells in series which two quantities are the same for all cells?

When battery cells are connected in series and a conducting circuit is connected between the terminals of the string, the current out of the positive terminal of each cell and the current into the negative terminal of each cell are all the same number.
