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.

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

If you got your start in electronics sometime after 1980 your first project might well have been to light up an LED. Microcontroller projects often light up an LED, too, and a blinking LED is ...

Troubleshooting refrigeration equipment often requires measuring various electrical properties such as voltages, current flows, and resistances. Understanding these basic electrical fundamentals and ...

Your 14-year-old kids have probably spent as much of their summer holidays on their phones or computers as they have at the beach or moaning about how bored they are. Yet when they learn about ...

There are many cases where a power supply needs an internal current-limiter function, usually built using a current sensor, a control circuit, and a pass transistor. The current sensor itself can be a ...

Currents were found to flow from cold to hot temperatures in some materials, described as ‘almost like watching a movie in reverse’. Scientists in Ireland and Spain have made a peculiar discovery that ...
