What is arguably the major disadvantage of a parallel circuit is that as you add more and more things in parallel, the current draw on the source goes up and up and up. If the source cannot supply the current that is "demanded" by the devices all strapped across the so-called "rails" of the circuit, the voltage will (must!) decrease. This could be very bad, as some devices, notably motors, don't like to run at low voltage and can actually be damaged if voltage sags too much and they don't have undervoltage protection. Fortunately, we have a pretty good power grid in many places, and this isn't a problem. Additionally, many devices have undervoltage protection built in, and they'll "trip" and shut down if voltages sag to a preset threshold.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of Electrical wiring is used in your homes and offices?
Parallel for main circuits and series parallel for lighting circuits.
How is the wiring done in houses and or other occupied buildings?
It is in parallel, so one light can be on while others are turned off.
What are some different types of electrical circuits?
Some different types of circuits are:openclosedparallelseriesThere are two types of basic circuits, series and parallel.In series, current stays constant and voltage is divided amongst the resistors.In parallel the voltage stays constant, Every branch of the circuit gets the same voltage from the power supplier, but there is different current in every branch but current doesn't get lost. Current entering a junction(branches) must equal to current out of the junction. Iin =Iout.The third type could be the Series-Parallel Combination, which has some components wired in series and other components in parallel. Solving these circuits requires more complex analysis techniques. See related link.Another AnswerElectrical circuits are generally classified as being: (1) series, (2) parallel, (3) series-parallel, and (4) complex. The term, 'complex' is a category into which any circuit that doesn't fall into the first three categories, is placed.
What type of circuits have loads are on separate branches?
parallel circuitsThey could be called twin-loop circuits but it isn't a term in common use.
What type of circuit allows you to use appliances in your home the same time?
parallel circuits for A+
What are disadvantages and advantages for series circuits and parallel circuits?
Basically if there is a break in a parallel circuit then it will continue to work, whereas if there was a break in a series circuit everything will go off.
What is the disadvantage of parallel?
There are three disadvantages of parallel circuits. These include the fact that they have complex resistance, voltage that is limited, and a current that varies.
What is the parallel disadvantage circuit?
There are three disadvantages of parallel circuits. These include the fact that they have complex resistance, voltage that is limited, and a current that varies.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of series circuits?
There are no particular advantages or disadvantages of series or parallel circuits. Some circuits require one while other circuits require the other. Frequency filters often require one or the other depending on whether you need a pass or rejection filter.
Can parallel circuits be used instead of fuses?
No. Parallel circuits are not fuses. Fuses can be used to protect parallel circuits.
What are the disadvantages and advantages series circuit?
There are no particular advantages or disadvantages of series or parallel circuits. Some circuits require one while other circuits require the other. Frequency filters often require one or the other depending on whether you need a pass or rejection filter.
What is the parallell circuit?
There are three disadvantages of parallel circuits. These include the fact that they have complex resistance, voltage that is limited, and a current that varies.
What are the disadvantages and advantages of parallel circuit?
Abraham Lincoln preferred them to perpendicular circuits.
What are the types of circuits?
The types of circuits are series and parallel!
What types of circuits are in a cell phone?
parallel circuits
What is the name of the circuit that is neither parallel nor series?
FEEDBACK CIRCUITS. In addition to parallel and series circuits, there are also closed and short circuits.
Does a parallel circuit have more than 1 resistor?
Parallel circuits normally have more than one resistor. Basically parallel circuits are circuits where the current has more than path to follow. However, there are parallel circuits where there are two switches rather than two resistors.
