Series circuits, I'm doing my junior cert science so this may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure an example would be Christmas lights.

If one blows they all are extinguished, because they share the one current of electricity.

Car lights are parallel circuits....

I can't think of another series one, but I hope I helped a bit.

Christmas lights are an example of parallel and series circuits. Christmas lights are typically strung in strings of ~50 lights in series. If you buy a string larger than this, you should be able to find the series groups of 50 lights, and where each of these is connected in parallel. That's why when 1 bulb goes out, a large portion of perfectly good bulbs do, too, but not all.

Maybe the most common example of a series circuit in the home is a switch and the light that it turns on and off. When the switch is closed so that the light is on, electric current flows from the main house panel through the line wire (usually black) to the switch, through the switch, and on to the light fixture (still in a black wire). At the light fixture the current runs into the center terminal of the light bulb, up to and through the filament and then back down to the screw base terminal and back to the light fixture into a white wire. Finally the current follows the white wire (usually right alongside the black wire, in a common jacket) all the way back to the breaker panel's neutral terminal to complete the circuit. Since the current must first flow through the switch to get to the light bulb, we say that the switch and the bulb are in series, or that they form a series circuit. That's how the switch actually does its job: when you turn it to the off position, it no longer lets the current flow through so that the current can no longer get to the light bulb and the light blub turns off.

Usually, Christmas tree lights.

Also, equipment where the tubes are connected in series to eliminate the need for a separate filament transformer.

What ia series circuit?

A circuit in which elements are connected in series.For example in RLC series circuit resistor,inductor and capacitor are connected in series.

Is a flashlight an example of a parallel or series curcuit type?

A flashlight is an example of a series circuit; a battery in series with a switch in series with a bulb.


Types of electrical circuit?

Series and parallelImproved AnswerThere are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex. 'Complex' is a 'catch-all', used to describe circuits that are not series, parallel, or series-parallel. An example of a 'complex' circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge circuit.

Would a relay race be a good example for a parallel circuit or a series circuit?

A relay race would be an example of a series circuit. Since every runner relies on the runner before him/her to continue on, if one runner fails the rest of them fail. With a series circuit, if one part of the circuit fails, all of the parts before and after it fails. A parallel circuit does not completely fail if one or more of the parts fail.


Why it is often not practical to connect the electric components (example of lights) in series?

In a series circuit, if one of the light's filiments opens the bulb will go out, but along with that light every other device in the same circuit will stop operating.Think of an electric light circuit, in your home, that is controlled by a switch. When the switch is turned off the light goes out. This is an example of a series circuit where ithe switch is in series with the lamp.


How is a series circuit constructed?

A series circuit is a simple circuit, a circuit that simply goes round in a loop without any branches off. Often, these circuits have just a battery, an appliance and a switch. A lamp is an example of one of these.


What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?

There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.


What are the three types of circuit's?

the three types of circuits are series, parallel, and series-parallel.AnswerThere are, in fact, four types or categories of circuit, not three! These are series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.The term 'complex' is somewhat misleading, because a 'complex circuit' is not necessarily complicated (although they often are!) but merely the collective name for any circuit that isn't series, parallel, or series-parallel. A simple example of a complex circuit is a bridge circuit, such as Wheatstone's Bridge.
