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.

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, ...

When two inverters are connected in parallel, they share the same input (battery or solar supply) and output (AC load). This ...

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 ...

This light sensor switch circuit allows the automatic connection of a lamp when the light is low (at nightfall) and will maintain the lamp ON for a certain period of time. This time can be adjusted ...

The Planet Analog post by Paul Illegems, “Can You Easily Build Integrated Power Switches? Part 2,” offers sound design principles to limit switch Rds_on and parasitic routing resistance when building ...

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 ...
