Power dissipated by the entire series circuit =
(voltage between its ends)2 / (sum of resistances of each component in the circuit).
Power dissipated by one individual component in the series circuit =
(current through the series circuit)2 x (resistance of the individual component).

What is an equation for power?
Power = (energy used)/(time to use it)Power dissipated by an electrical circuit =(voltage across the circuit) x (current through the circuit)or(resistance of the circuit) x (square of the current through the circuit)or(square of the voltage across the circuit)/(resistance of the circuit)
How many paths are there for current flow in a series circuit?
one
In mathematics what is the meaning of a power series?
A power series in mathematics (in one variable) is an infinite series of a certain form. It normally appears as the Taylor series of a known function.
How is power solved for in series circuit?
This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask the answer of. Earn your diploma.
What are reciprocal circuit elements?
Reciprocal circuit elements are those elements/circuits in which power loss/gain is same at both nodes/ends.In these types of circuits we can check the circuit or connect it in any way.
The sum of all the power drops in a series circuit must equal?
The sum of all the power drops in a series circuit must equal
How many pathways exits for electricity travel on in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, there is only one path for electricity to travel along the circuit from the power source through each component connected in series back to the power source.
Why is the total power equals the sum of the individual values of power in a series circuit or a parallel circuit is used?
The total power equals the sum of the individual powers because power is the rate at which energy is supplied. Whether you have a series or parallel circuit, the total power comes from the power source.
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit alike?
Both take current and energy from the power supply and dissipate power.
Which household objects have a series circuit?
a power drill
What is the difference between parallel and series?
If you are referring to an electrical circuit, a series circuit is wired in such a way that if one object is removed from the circuit, the circuit is broken and everything within the circuit loses power. In a parallel circuit different components of the circuit can be removed without disabling power to the rest of the devices within the circuit.
When you have watts in a series circuit do you add up the total or is it the reciprocal?
The power dissipated by the complete circuit, no matter whether it's a series or parallel one, is the simple sum of the power dissipated by each component of the circuit.
The rules of connecting voltmeter and ammeters in the circuit?
Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit
What happens if the track of the current is broken in a series circuit?
If the track of the current is broken in a series circuit, the circuit will be interrupted and no current will flow. The components in the circuit will not receive any power and will not function until the circuit is repaired.
How is a parallel circuit the same as a series circuit?
In both cases, the power dissipated is measured by multiplying the voltage across the circuit by the current through the circuit.
Is a series circuit the same as a parallel circuit?
In both cases, the power dissipated is measured by multiplying the voltage across the circuit by the current through the circuit.
Which type of circuit the parallel circuit are use?
they are used for more power than a series circuit so you should use this one.
