Coming from an IT background to an AM transmitter site might leave you with a world of questions. Mark Persons explains the basics.

If Christmas tree lights all go out when one bulb breaks, they are connected in series. The current is the same throughout a circuit and voltages add up to the supply voltage. Parallel circuits ...

The current flowing in a series circuit is the same everywhere. Figure caption, A series circuit with two bulbs and one cell. The ammeter will read the same at points 1, 2 or 3. In series circuits ...

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 ...

Schematic 6: Series-Parallel Wiring . As we can see in the diagram above, Zspk2 and Zspk3 are in series (2). Thus we can add them and replace them with a new impedance which we can refer to as Zspk2'.

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.

Here’s the diagram we’ll use. We’ve drawn this one out in a repairer’s eye view as it’s soldered. On the left are the two push-pull pots. Here’s the sequence: pickups series/parallel switch pickup ...

The x-axis represents the series resistance and the y-axis represents the series reactance. Figure 2: Constant parallel resistance maps as a circle. (Click on image to enlarge) There are two circles ...
