Two lamps connected in series with an open switch and a cell The circuit diagram shows a circuit with two lamps connected in series. If one lamp breaks, the other lamp will not light. The current is ...

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 ...

Parallel Circuit Calculations provides a comprehensive overview of the rules and formulas used to calculate electrical quantities and capacity. Using a direct current parallel circuit as an example, ...

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 ...

When more than two resistors are connected in parallel the equation becomes:\(\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R}_{1}+\frac{1}{R}_{2}+\frac{1}{R}_{3}\) The supply voltage is a measure of the energy supplied to ...

Human conductivity, electrical resistance and series & parallel circuits! Human conductivity, electrical resistance, series & parallel circuits and more! The Curious Crew learns how all circuits have ...

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 ...

Series voltage drop is the progressive loss of voltage that occurs when feeding a string of parallel-connected loads. It's of particular concern when feeding a string of roadway, walkway, or parking ...

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 ...
