1. List five series circuits you use at home or school. Also list the item or items in the circuit that cause resistance. Remember that power can come from an electrical outlet or a battery.

Think about the number of power cords plugged into an outlet. If there is only one power cord, there is only one loop in the circuit. This is an example of a series circuit. Also, remember that anything that draws electricity (e.g., an appliance) causes resistance in a circuit.

just going off of some quick research 1. christmas lights 2. refridgerators apparently? 3. water heaters apparently? https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-examples-of-series-circuits-in-daily-life

zarkam21 · Answer

lamps?

Vocaloid · Answer

good, maybe a 5th example could be a simple appliance like a toaster or something

as for resistors I don't know much but I know lightbulbs, voltage dividers, sensors, etc. can be resistors, basically anything that takes electric current and does something with it

zarkam21 · Answer

well it says to list the item or items in the circuit that cause resistance

zarkam21 · Answer

DO you think they mean each individual item

Vocaloid · Answer

well for the christmas lights, the filament in the bulbs acts as a resistor
refridgerators I would guess the sensors/lightbulbs/heat pump maybe

Vocaloid · Answer

for the water heater, I'd say the heating element/coil itself is a resistor
lamps, same thing as the christmas lights, the filament in the bulb
toaster: heating coil and light bulbs/light producing coils I guess
