Does a series circuit have branches? or the term branch can use in series circuit too and there are only one branch in series circuit. please explain.
Don't get too hung up on series and parallel circuits because two components can be considered as being both in series and in parallel, depending on how you look at the circuit. A lot of needless angst is expended on this sort of question. If you just move on from this level of thought and start to describe a circuit in terms of its nodes (points where two or more components are connected) then there is no confusion. https://electrical-engineering-portal.com/electric-circuits-nodes-branches-loops is just one of many which present circuits in a more understandable way than we are often taught with when starting. Notice that the link doesn't use the expression "Series Circuit" but it describes what "Series Connection" is.dothep6 said:Does a series circuit have branches? or the term branch can use in series circuit too and there are only one branch in series circuit. please explain.
A series circuit is a type of electrical circuit in which the components are connected end to end, forming a single path for current flow. This means that the current passing through each component is the same.
In a parallel circuit, the components are connected in multiple branches, providing more than one path for current flow. This means that the current can be divided among the different branches, and the total current in the circuit is equal to the sum of the currents in each branch.
No, a series circuit does not have branches. In a series circuit, all components are connected in a single loop, with no other paths for current to flow.
If one component in a series circuit fails, the entire circuit will stop working. This is because there is only one path for current to flow, and if that path is broken, the current cannot continue to flow.
In a series circuit, the voltages of each component add up to the total voltage of the circuit. This means that the voltage drop across each component will be a fraction of the total voltage, depending on the resistance of the component.
