What is special about electric current in a series circuit?
In a series circuit the current remains the same throughout the circuit. This is not the case for parallel circuits.
Are LC circuits and tuned circuits same thing?
a "LC circuit at resonance" and tuned circuits are the same
How are series circuits and parallel circuits the same?
They are not. They are connected differently, and the voltages and currents behave in different ways.
What are the two basic types of electric circuits?
There are many different types of circuits, but, in basic electricity, perhaps the two most common types of circuits are parallel and series.A parallel-connected circuit is one in which the current divides into two or more flows with at least one load on each flow, whereas a series circuit has only one flow that passes through two or more consecutive loads. The input voltage to a parallel-connected circuit stays constant - so every branch of the circuit gets the same voltage from the power supply - but there is a different current flowing in each branch dependant on the resistance of the loads in that branch. Overall, no current gets lost because any current entering a particular junction (leading to branches) is always equal to the current leaving that junction.In a series-connected circuit the input current stays constant and the voltage is divided amongst the loads which are connected like links in a chain: each load component (a light, a resistor, etc.) is connected "head to tail" to the next one in the series circuit.A more complete answerActually there are four types of circuit, not two. These are series circuits, parallel circuits, series-parallel circuits, and complex circuits.'Complex circuits' (which are not necessarily complicated) describe any circuit that is not series, parallel, or series-parallel - a Wheatstone Bridge is an example of a complex circuit.The techniques for solving series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits cannot be used for solving complex circuits. Instead, network theorems, such as Thevenin's and Norton's Theorems must be used.
Use Ohm's Law and explain how 2 circuits have the same current but different resistance?
As we know V=IR, by changing the voltages in the two different circuits, we can maintain the same current even we have different resistance.
