Q

Parallel advantages

A

i) In parallel combination each appliance gets the full voltage. (ii) If one appliance is switched on, others are not affected. (iii) The parallel circuit divides the current through the appliances. Each appliance gets proper current depending on its resistance.

Q

SEries

A

A series circuit provides exactly one path between any two points for electric current. These circuits have the advantage of making each component very dependent on the other components. This means that if one component is removed, all of the components turn off.

Q

Heating

A

Current: Electric current generates heat to overcome the resistance offered by the conductor through which it passes. Higher the resistance, the electric current will generate higher amount of heat. Thus, generation of heat by electric current while passing through a conductor is an inevitable consequence. This heating effect is used in many appliances, such as electric iron, electric heater, electric geyser, etc.
