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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Capacitors connected in parallel, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitors’ capacitances. If two or more are connected in parallel, the effect is that of a single equivalent ...

This is probably fairly straightforward for an EE to weigh in on so I thought I’d post this question here for posterity in the hopes that it’ll solve the issue for other designers. The challenge is ...

We’ve struggled for many years to comply with the requirements in Sec. 250.122(F) of the National Electrical Code (NEC) when routing multiconductor cables with equipment grounding conductors (EGCs) in ...

We all carry supercomputers in our pockets and use dozens of electric gizmos every day but rarely stop to marvel at the magical act of flicking a switch. Use your ordinary conducting and extraordinary ...

Two new patented circuits control ac power to resistive and reactive loads with minimal EMI. They are applicable to single and multiple ac phases and varying ac frequencies. Switching ac power on and ...
