Learn how to avoid parallel and series resistor errors in circuits by following some simple tips and tricks. Avoid inaccurate measurements, overheating, or damage to your devices.

In National 5 Physics examine the current and voltage in series and parallel circuits to formulate rules and determine unknown values.

Resistor values are selected after analysis for a given application. For most of the regular circuits, 1/4W resistors with ±5% tolerance carbon composition or carbon film resistors are used. However, ...

Know your way around an electric circuit? Show that you know your series circuits from your parallel circuits with BBC Bitesize.

Figure 1 shows a series-ladder-resistor network comprising a string of resistors whose junctions connect to switch-selectable taps that determine the circuit's gain. Little current flows through the ...

A Series resistor connection is when resistors are connected from head to tail. They all share the same current, but the voltage is different. The total resistance is the sum of all the resistors in ...
