Question

12. What type of circuit is the diagram below? series circuit parallel circuit

Answer 1

Answer:

parallel circuit

Explanation:

An electric circuit can be defined as an interconnection of electrical components which creates a path for the flow of electric charge (electrons) due to a driving voltage.

Generally, an electric circuit consists of electrical components such as resistors, capacitors, battery, transistors, switches, inductors, etc.

Basically, the components of an electric circuit can be connected or arranged in two forms and these includes;

I. Series circuit

II. Parallel circuit: it's an electrical circuit that has the same potential difference (voltage) across its terminals or ends. Thus, its components are connected within the same common points so that only a portion of current flows through each branch.

Hence, the type of circuit that the above diagram above represents is a parallel circuit.
