Learn how to measure current and voltage and the advantages of parallel circuits.

Series circuits are useful if you want a warning that one of the components in the circuit has failed. They also use less wiring than parallel circuits.

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.

Power and Series Circuits: The electrical power formula is introduced and students learn how to use Ohm’s Law and the power formula to solve problems. They also learn to draw diagrams for series ...

We define the properties of parallel and complex circuits. Unit 5 Segment H: Parallel and Complex Circuits We define the properties of parallel and complex circuits. We examine how to find the ...

So we use parallel circuits for power and (generally) series circuits for control. In some cases, control circuits use a parallel configuration. Consider the common example of wiring up a three-way ...
