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 ...

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 two resistors have the same current through them. The potential difference across them will be different if they have different resistances. The total resistance (\(R_{T}\)) for this circuit is ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...

There are a vast array of power supplies on the market, and the variety of resistor applications in those designs broaden the selection dramatically. So, for the purpose of this article, power ...

This video explains how resistors function and how Ohm’s Law defines the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in electronic circuits. Resistors are passive components used to control ...

To improve efficiency in high-power applications, voltage regulators can be used in parallel to double output current capability—if a means of forcing current sharing is provided. One circuit approach ...

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.

The current flowing in a series circuit is the same everywhere. Figure caption, A series circuit with two bulbs and one cell. The ammeter will read the same at points 1, 2 or 3. In series circuits, ...
