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.

If there are no branches then it's a series circuit. If there are branches it's a parallel circuit. In a television series, you get several episodes, one after the other. A series circuit is similar.

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. In ...

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 ...

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 ...

Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, taking the form of conductive plates separated by an insulating material ...

This Power Tip shows you how to do a quick conversion of parallel-to-series complex impedances (and vice versa). It also shows that a graphical representation of this transformation as a function of ...
