-- Two loads ... each of which dissipates 210 watts on a 120V supply ...

when wired in parallel, dissipate 420 watts.

-- Two others in series also want to dissipate 420 watts, so each of those

dissipates 210 watts on a 60V supply.

Power dissipated is proportional to the square of the voltage, so on a 120V supply,

each of these would dissipate 840 watts .

Will a series win between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

No,a parallel will win because it has more power and had equal number of energy!AnswerNeither will 'win'. Each has advantages/disadvantages compared with the other -it depends upon their application. Parallel circuits don't necessarily 'have more power' and an 'equal number of energy' (sic).

What are the laws of series and parallel connection?

1.In series connection the total resistance is equal the total number of resistor that was connected in series 2.the current is constant in a series connection 3.in a series connection total voltage is equal the number of of volt per cells


Can 3 of four batteries be wired up in series and 1 in parallel. Will this setup drain the parallel battery?

No it will impose the voltage of the three series batteries across the terminals of the paralleled battery. Batteries can only be parallel when all of the voltage potentials are near equal.


What happens to voltages and currents when there are passive elements connected in series and in parallel?

In a series circuit the current flow in each element is equal but voltage across the each element is differ. In a parallel circuit the voltage across the each element is equal but current flow in each element is differ.


How are circuits connected when you are using more than one battery?

The batteries can be connected in parallel or in series. In parallel, good batteries of the same voltage will have a total voltage across them equal to the voltage across one of them. Those batteries in series will have a total voltage equal to the sum of the voltage of each of the batteries.


How does series resonance differ from parallal resonance?

In series resonance, the inductance and the capacitance are connected in series, but in parallel resonance they are connected in parallel. In series resonance, at an input signal with a frequency equal to resonance frequency, the total impedance of both inductive and capacitive elements together is zero (or they appear as short circuits) unlike the parallel resonance case in which it is infinite and they appear as an open circuit.


What is a quadrilateral with 4 parallel sides?

It is not possible to have a quadrilateral with four parallel sides - this would bea series of four parallel lines that do not intersect.A quadrilateral with four sides of equal length is a rhombus, however.And a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides is a parallelogram.


What is a quadrilateral a pair of parallel and a pair of equal sides?

A quadrilateral has four sides that may or may not be equal or parallel If two sides are parallel and the other sides equal but not parallel it is a trapezoid


Does the parallel side of a trapezoid equal?

No, the parallel sides of a trapezoid are not equal.
