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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In Part 1 of the Electronics for Kids series, we looked at LEDs; in Part 2, we explored capacitors; and in Part 3, we took an in-depth look at electrical measurements. In this article, we will focus ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
