A parallel circuit is way of connecting components on separate branches, so the current can take different routes around the circuit. The current is different in different parts of a parallel circuit.

Series and Parallel Circuit Series and parallel circuits are two fundamental configurations in electrical circuits, each with distinct characteristics that affect how electricity flows through them.

What do series and parallel circuits have to do with Christmas lights? In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini walks us through the differences between series and parallel circuits and how that ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...

We define the properties of parallel and complex circuits. Unit 5 Segment H: Parallel and Complex Circuits We define the properties of parallel and complex circuits. We examine how to find the total ...

Previous tutorials have shown the properties and characteristics of simple resistor-only and inductor-only AC circuits. We will now investigate the effects of combining the two components together.

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...
