There are several possibilities.
You could have a bad breaker that has internal resistance causing a voltage drop. If all the devices on the circuit are low then this is a likely possibility.
There could be a loose connection in the electric panel either on the neutral or hot side. This will also effect all devices.
If problem is not at all devices there could be a loose connection in a junction box.
What else can I help you with?
When would you use a series and when would you use a parallel circuit?
* The most common applications for series circuits is in Christmas tree lights and putting a fuse in series with delicate electronic equipment. * Each component in a circuit causes a voltage drop. Therefore, the series circuit should only be used where the voltage drop does not interfere with the proper functioning of the components in the circuit. * On the other hand, where all of the compenents in a circuit require the same supply voltage, then a parelell circuit should be used.
What type of electrical circuit is used least in industry and the home?
The most common of all circuits used in industry and around the home is the parallel circuit. In industry all MCC controls are in parallel with the supply distribution and around the home all lighting circuits are in parallel with the supply distribution panel.
Want to test my circuit breakers to see which is using the most voltage?
You can use a multimeter to measure the voltage across each circuit breaker. Turn off power to the circuit, remove the breaker from the panel, and use the multimeter in voltage measurement mode to check the voltage. Keep in mind that high voltage readings could indicate a problem with the circuit. If you are unsure, consider consulting with a licensed electrician for further guidance.
You are just asking that let us assume you have connected 2 or 3 resistors in a circuit and the current flowing through the circuit and from all the resistors will be same but how?
If the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance will be the sum of the resistances of each resistor, and the current flow will be the same thru all of them. if the resistors are connected in parallel, then the current thru each resistor would depend on the resistance of that resistor, the total resistance would be the inverse of the sum of the inverses of the resistance of each resistor. Total current would depend on the voltage and the total resistance
Where would you find a series circuit?
The main advantage of a series circuits comes from the fact that when you add a power source, its voltage just gets added to voltage of the circuit. This increase in voltage allows you to easily increase the power going to any electrical device just by adding more sources of voltage. In addition, since current is constant across a series circuit, if you have a collection of devices that all require the same or closely related current, a series circuit instantly gets you there. Finally, on a more economical note, since you only need to wire one loop in series (as opposed to multiple in parallel) you will end up using less wire and spending less on materials to create your circuit. However, if you plan on powering multiple devices at once with the ability to remove any of them at any time or want them to have the same voltage and not the same current, you will have little choice but to concede and use a parallel circuit structure instead.
Which circuit would have the highest voltage series or parellel?
In a series circuit, the voltage is divided among the components, so the highest voltage is at the beginning of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, each component receives the full voltage of the source, so the voltage is the same across all components. Therefore, the circuit with the highest voltage would be in a series circuit.
Why would houses have parallel circuits?
So that the voltage across all devices is the same. In a series circuit voltage would vary across each load so would depend on what else was in the circuit.
What is the same in a parallel circuit?
Always voltage constant in parallel circuit if you look your house wiring all are in parallel therefore 220 volt present in every house but current is different
What is the voltage in a series circuit where multiple components are connected in a series, known as series circuit voltage?
In a series circuit, the voltage is the same across all components connected in a series. This is known as the series circuit voltage.
Why is the series arrangement not used for domestic circuits?
In series, each device creates a voltage drop related to the current and impedence of the device, therefore, the voltage for the devices in the circuit are not the same. Addition: Also, in a series circuit, if one device fails, all others in the circuit would also "turn off" - think older strands of Christmas lights. Lets say for example that all the lights in your house were in a series circuit. When you turned the circuit on, all the lights would come on, but when you turn the switch off, all the lights would also go off (possibly useful when leaving for the day or going to bed). Now, one light bulb blows out...every light in the house would go out, leaving you to try replacing every light in the house until you found the correct one...in the dark.
In which circuit is the voltage the same across all branches?
Parallel circuit.
What circuit does the voltage has the same across all branches?
In a series circuit, the voltage is the same across all branches. This is because there is only one path for the current to flow, so the voltage is shared equally throughout the circuit.
Is the voltage the same throughout all points in a series circuit?
Yes, in a series circuit, the voltage is the same at all points because there is only one path for the current to flow, so the total voltage is divided across all components in the circuit.
What would happen if your household circuit was set up in series circuit?
First, you will need very high voltage to run them altogether. Second, short circuit will be extremely hazardous in your house due to high voltage. Thirdly, you can't switch off the light without off the heater or air conditioning.
What happens to the voltage if batteries if they are setup in a parallel and a series circuit?
Assuming all of the individual batteries are the same voltage, if arranged in a parallel circuit the voltage is the same as any one battery. If arranged in a series circuit the voltage will be the sum (the total) of all of the batteries added together.
In a circuit the voltage is the same across all branches?
In a series circuit, the voltage is the same across all components connected in the circuit. This is due to the conservation of energy principle, where the total voltage provided by the power source is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each component.
Voltage varies or is the same in all parts of a series circuit?
Current is the same at all points in a series circuit.No statement can be made concerning voltage. Voltage is a potential differencebetween two points, and you haven't specified a point for reference.
