Science Boff or electrician needed.

alryt guys. im helping with my bro's home work. does anyone know what these circuits are called?
i have looked on bbc bitesize but doesnt really help.

i know a couple are parrelel and series but i dont know they're full title is with the bulbs and switches added on

thanks Rob

[Peejous]

Parallel
Series
Series
Parallel

No other names

[Rob_Furio7]

i thought they may have been.
1.A parallel circuit with 2 lamps and switch
2. A series circuit with 1 lamp and switch
3. A series circuit with 2 lamps and switch
4. A parrallel circuit.....(dont know :S)

but this seemed a bit silly? am i wrong or right, or just put parrallel and series.

I'd go with Peej. he's a geek :)

[Peejous]

As far as I recall you don't need to put any info about switches etc in.

just Parallel or Series circuits.

[Rob_Furio7]

ok kool. thanks for the help guys. maybe not so much dan but im sure the thought was there

[Rob_Furio7]

hi peej, and anyone else that would know. these are last few that im unsure on.

is Ohm's a measurement? is it voltage?

What is Lathe and what is it used for? is it a machine tool that cuts and shapes materials like metal. or is it just a part of a circuit? :s

[Peejous]

is Ohm's a measurement? is it voltage?


Ohms are levels of resistance.

Where:
Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R)

What is Lathe and what is it used for? is it a machine tool that cuts and shapes materials like metal. or is it just a part of a circuit? :s

Ohms is the measurement of resistance.

Voltage = Current x Resistance

Edit: hate you pissjuice :p

thanks alot for that. im clearly not the science expert just yet ;)

i got the Lathe informtation from wikipedia but i wasnt sure if that was the right answer as it wasnt relavant to the rest of questions. thanks for the help.

[Peejous]

As far as I know ive never heard of a lathe in the same context and electrical circuitry etc.

ohm's law diagrams

if they're being used to demonstrate the resistance of different circuits, using components in series and parallel

Yes wilsh.. They is cables :P

[barrett130]

isnt the last one compound?

[Rob_Furio7]

isnt the last one compound?

the circuit?

[barrett130]

the circuit?

yeah just been doin this at college and i can see there..

parrallel
series
series


compound??

[Rob_Furio7]

sweet thanks mate. i wasnt sure what it was because it seemed like a parrelel circuit, but then also seemed to go off on its own loom at the top
