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.

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.

Variable flux permanent magnet machines represent a dynamic class of electrical machines in which the air-gap magnetic flux can be actively adjusted during operation. This flexibility permits improved ...

Head, Research and Development Section, Computer Dept. Raytheon Manufacturing Co., Waltham, Mass. MAGNETIC core circuits can be found performing the computer functions of storage, manipulation, ...

Linear constantcurrent drivers, for instance, offer low EMI, low cost, and use only a few components. Many designers favor them for low-current applications where power loss is a minor concern. If ...

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 ...
