If turning off a light caused your hair dryer to shut off what type of circuit is being used?
A series circuit. Turning off the light interrupted the only path for electricity to the hair dryer.
What type of circuit normally contains LDR?
LDRs are normally found in Light/Dark sensing circuits
In a series connection if one component fails the whole circuit fails?
Yes. Open circuit. A: It depends on the failure type a short will not necessarily make an open circuit but rather a non functional circuit.
A toaster is an example of which type of circuit?
It is a resistive type of circuit.
What is the job of a bulb in a circuit?
The job of the bulb in a circuit is to convert electrical energy to light. It's called the load in the circuit.
If you have a string of lights and one light goes out but the others stay lit which type of circuit do you have?
The lights are wired in parallel.
Why does the string of lights go out if 1 goes out?
When one light in a string of lights goes out, it breaks the circuit, causing the whole string to go out. This is because the lights are connected in series, so when one light is out, the circuit is incomplete and no electricity can flow to the other lights.
A type of circuit that allows the light bulb to turn on?
a closed circuit
What type of circuit lets you use only one light at a time?
a parallel circuit
In what type of circuit would a burned out light bulb cause other light bulbs in the circuit to go out?
This is the case in a series circuit. (like the small Christmas lights.)
How could you quickly determine if a string of lights is wired in a series or parallel circuit?
One way to quickly determine if a string of lights is wired in a series or parallel circuit is to visually trace the wiring connections. In a series circuit, the lights are connected end-to-end, while in a parallel circuit, each light has its own separate connection to the power source. Another way is to remove one bulb from the string and see if the rest stay lit; if they do, it's likely a parallel circuit, if they all go out, it's likely a series circuit.
What type of circuit is it called when light bulbs one after another are connected?
In series
In what type of circuit does eletricity travel when it does work?
Electric energy powers appliances such as a radio or light bulb. It travels in a CLOSE CIRCUIT.
Which type of circuit a series circuit or a parallel circuit would allow the light bulbs to burn brighter?
In a parallel circuit, each light bulb would receive the full voltage of the power source, allowing them to burn brighter compared to a series circuit where the voltage is divided among the bulbs.
How many Stringing Christmas Lights can you put up before a fuse blows?
It depends on what type of Christmas lights. If they are the (now) standard 50 , 100, 150, mini-lights, they use a 3A fuse and you COULD use a MAXIMUM of about 750 lights if they are strung together from one string (end to end plugs) before blowing the fuse built into the plug of the first light set. If you plug them into separate outlets (or into an outlet-strip), then you could light about 3750 lights on a (otherwidse unused) 15 A household circuit. With the new LED type Christmas lights, it might be even more.
Can a diode power a circuit?
An ordinary diode, no. It has nowhere to get energy from.But a solar cell is a type of diode that converts light to electricity. So it is a diode that can power a circuit. So yes, there is one type of diode that can power a circuit.
What is a circuit that uses only one device?
A simple circuit that uses only one device would be a battery connected to an LED light. The battery provides power to the LED, causing it to light up. This type of circuit is commonly used in handheld flashlights.
