In circuits connected in parallel, the components are connected on different branches. Find out more with BBC Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

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 ...

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

In a parallel circuit, all the LEDs you connect will glow no matter how many you add. That's fine and dandy for a low voltage, battery-powered circuit running a stack of LEDs, but it can present ...

In a series circuit, the identical current passes through every component connected in the circuit. Conversely, in parallel circuits, components are arranged side by side, causing the circuit to ...

Circuit topologies for connecting LEDs. Erik Ogren looks at the choice between serial and parallel architectures for connecting LEDs. When designing a handheld device with a colour display using white ...

Series-parallel circuit. The Figure at right shows three impedances; two are connected in parallel and then connected in series with a third impedance. Each impedance can be a pure resistance, a pure ...
