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.

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 ...

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 ...

Calculating total current is an essential aspect of electrical engineering and electronic circuit analysis. Knowledge of current values in a circuit helps in determining the efficiency, performance, ...

In Part 1 of the Electronics for Kids series, we looked at LEDs; in Part 2, we explored capacitors; and in Part 3, we took an in-depth look at electrical measurements. In this article, we will focus ...

Connecting 8A and 10A fuses in parallel is a practice that raises many questions about safety and performance in electrical systems. While fuses are designed to protect circuits from overcurrent, ...

Linear constantcurrent drivers, for instance, offer low EMI, low cost, and use only a few components. Many designers favor them for low-current applications where power loss is a minor concern. If ...

Abstract: To transfer large power in inductively coupled power transfer (ICPT) system, parallel secondary pickups are adopted. Because of the error of installation ...
