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.

In National 4 Physics examine the current and voltage in series and parallel circuits to formulate rules and determine unknown values.

Spread the loveWhen you start to explore the world of electronics, you may hear the terms “series circuit” and “parallel circuit” used frequently. While both types of circuits may sound similar, they ...

For example, often lawnmowers have two switches in series with each other so that both switches need to be pressed before the mower will turn on. The power ring circuit is also a parallel circuit ...

Electronic circuits are examined mathematically to determine if they will function safely and predictably as designed. Ohm’s Law is used to calculate values of circuit components and determine ...

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 ...

(Editor's note : there is a linked list of all entries in this series here.) This Power Tip shows you how to do a quick conversion of parallel-to-series complex impedances (and vice versa). It also ...

Spread the loveUnderstanding how resistors work in series and parallel circuits is crucial for anyone interested in electronics. In this article, we will discuss four different methods to calculate ...

Resistance in series adds up all resistor values. Voltage divides, current stays the same—key for understanding simple circuit behavior and design.
