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.

Previous tutorials have described that resistors may either be connected as a series circuit or a parallel circuit where the currents and voltages are obtained using Ohm’s Law. To produce more complex ...

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 ...

Abstract: When using many rectifying devices, higher harmonic components of currents absorbed by them from the grid become significantly important. They can cause very harmful phenomena connected with ...

Abstract: Silicon carbide Schottky barrier diodes (SiC-SBD) have recently come onto the market, and have attracted a great deal of public attention. Generally, high current and high voltage power ...
