What are disadvantages and advantages of parallel circuits

Physics
1 answer:
kozerog [31]4 years ago
4 0
Well,

Parallel circuits are circuits that have only one "line" running through all the appliances in the circuit.

A parallel circuit can be more advantageous to a series circuit because you do not have to use as much wire.

However, the fact that the current must run through every appliance could be a problem.  The most common is when an appliance (say a light bulb) wears out or breaks.

There is no longer a complete connection, and we now have an open circuit.

The parallel circuit I find the most annoying is Christmas Tree lights, where when one light bulb goes bad, all the other bulbs in that line go out.

melomori [17]

Explanation:

It is known that opposite charges tend to attract each other whereas like charges tend to repel each other.

For example, when we rub a plastic pen with wool and it gets attracted towards an invisible tape then it means that there is an opposite charge present on both the objects.

A neutral object also tends to develop a charge when it comes in contact with a charged object.

Thus, we can conclude that the following statements are true.

  • The tape might be positively charged.
  • The tape might be uncharged.

In a city grid, each block on the east-west streets is 100 meters long. Each block on the north-south streets is 20 meters long.
alex41 [277]

Answer:

72.1 m

Explanation:

Hello!

When the walker walks west, each block he walks will be of 100 m, so the walker walked 4*100m = 400 m west.

Similarly, when the walker walks south, he walks 20 meters per block, therefore, the walker walked 4*20 m = 80 m south.

Since the directions west and south are perpendicular, the distance between the start ad end point is:

d = √(400^2 + 80^2) m = 407.92 m

However the walker traveled 480 m

Therefore, the walker traveled 480 - 407.9 m = 72.1 m farther than the actual distance
