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.

Scarcely a lighting application exists that designers have not considered converting to solid-state lighting, especially as LEDs by leaps and bounds improve both the quantity and the quality of their ...

All questions and answers are based on the 2011 NEC. Q. If circuit conductors are installed in parallel in separate raceways, is an equipment grounding conductor ...

In-circuit test (ICT) has been instrumental in identifying manufacturing process defects and component defects on countless varieties of populated printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies for more than ...

A blast from the Elektor archives: this 1998 battery tester uses a simple LED display to reveal a battery’s true condition under load — even below 1 V.

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 ...
