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.

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 ...

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 ...

You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

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 ...

Myrtle Beach, S.C. — AVX Corp. has designed a ceramic capacitor that virtually eliminates the risk of short-circuit failure. Terminated with the company's FLEXITERM technology, FLEXISAFE capacitors ...

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.

The CH Series offers capacitance options ranging from 0.1pf to 1000pF with voltages from 50V to 1500V. Designed for use in medical (MRI), scientific, industrial and cellular base stations, the series ...
