COMPARE AND CONTRAST
parallel circuit
-
Characteristic:
- Has two or more path for the electricity to flow.
- Every element of the parallel circuit has the same voltage applied to it.
- The total current flowing from the source is equal to the sum of the currents flowing through each path.
Advantages:
- have a low total resistance
- They don't depend on every part operating correctly. The circuit continues to function even if one of them malfunctions or is disconnected.
Disadvantages:
- It requires the use of lot of wires
- More complex.
- We cannot increase or multiply the voltage in a parallel circuit.
series circuit
-
Characteristic:
- same Current throughout the circuit
- all components share the same current
-
Disadvantages:
if one component is disturbed or has a problem, it will impact the entire circuit,
-
Simmilarities
-
Ohm's Law, voltage, current, and resistance, is applicable to both.
