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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: In order to increase current capacity of a mechanical persistent current switch (PCS) which realizes zero contact resistance, parallel connection is suitable for no reduction in the total ...

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 ...
