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.

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 ...

Calculating the current in a parallel circuit is an essential skill for electronics enthusiasts and professionals alike. Parallel circuits are common in many electronic devices, and understanding how ...

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 ...

where C Total represents the total capacitance, and C 1, C 2, ..., C n are the individual capacitances measured in farads (F). In parallel capacitor circuits, the total capacitance is always greater ...

Another important concern is the balance of currents that flow in multiple strings. We know that two or three strings of LEDs will have different combined forward voltages. The LED driver will deliver ...

We all carry supercomputers in our pockets and use dozens of electric gizmos every day but rarely stop to marvel at the magical act of flicking a switch. Use your ordinary conducting and extraordinary ...
