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.

Previous tutorials have described that resistors may either be connected as a series circuit or a parallel circuit where the currents and voltages are obtained using Ohm’s Law. To produce more complex ...

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 ...

When resistors are connected in parallel, we know that the potential difference across each resistor is the same but the current through each resistor adds up to the current through the supply. By ...

This Power Tip shows you how to do a quick conversion of parallel-to-series complex impedances (and vice versa). It also shows that a graphical representation of this transformation as a function of ...

A sanitary wiring job takes a little effort and patience, but the result is worth the effort! For some strange reason, many rodders exhibit a great deal of resistance when it comes to dealing with ...

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 ...

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 ...

Electric circuits often consist of several elements, some combined in series and others in parallel. The methods used to analyze series and parallel circuits can be combined to analyze these ...
