What is a series circuit?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The definition of a series circuit.
Explanation of Solution
A circuit in which only one path of flow of electricity is present and the components presents in the circuit are wired with end to end connection is called series circuit. In a series circuit the current leaves from first component must enter to the second component, because the component present in series circuit is connected with end to end. The current through each component (Resistor’s) in a series circuit is same.
The below figure represents schematic diagram of a series circuit.

- determine the heat loss and heat transfer requirements for an air conditioningsystem in a storage room. Steps:1. Collect Data: Review the Technical Specifications Document for details like storage roomdimensions, wall thickness, and materials. Use the ASHRAE CLIMATIC DESIGN CONDITIONS tocollect local data.2. Calculate Room Surface Area: Determine the total surface area of the storage room,accounting for walls and ceiling. Assume that the floor is well insulated and that heat transferwithin the floor is negligible.3. Assess Insulation: Evaluate the insulation thickness and material properties.4. Calculate Heat and Ventilation Loads (Heat Loss Calculations): In general, heat loadcalculations include several components, such as internal equipment, lighting, and heat gainsfrom external sources.
