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.

In a series circuit, resistors are connected end-to-end, so the current flows through each resistor sequentially. The total resistance in a series circuit is the sum ...

Resistances in parallel is a common term used in industrial, commercial, and institutional power systems. Therefore, a good understanding of working with resistors in parallel and calculating their ...

The hindrance to the flow of electric charge is known as Resistance. The obstruction posed in the way of current carrying particles by fixed particles creates resistance in an electric circuit. Since ...

Electrical components, like motors close motorA device which spins when current flows through it. Motors are used in fans, food processors and many other devices. and lamps close lampA component which ...

Ohm’s Law is the fundamental principle used for calculations related to electric circuits. It states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the ...

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 ...
