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.

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 total ...

The hindrance to the flow of electric charge is known as Resistance. The obstruction posed in the way of current carrying particles by fixed particles creates resistance in an electric circuit. Since ...

What do series and parallel circuits have to do with Christmas lights? In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini walks us through the differences between series and parallel circuits and how that ...

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 ...
