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 ...

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 ...

You can connect multiple LEDs to one battery in two different ways. The one in this picture is called a 'series circuit'. The other is called a 'parallel circuit'.

See how the land and water are connected, and investigate electrical circuits.

A parallel circuit execution technique has been proposed to address this problem by executing multiple programs on hardware simultaneously. It can improve the hardware throughput and reduce the ...

To prevent this, snubbing circuits often are employed to reduce the dv/dt seen by the device. Triacs also are harder to connect in parallel for the same reasons as SCRs.

The problem with using different battery packs in parallel is that unless the batteries are charged to similar voltages, they could generate a very high and potentially dangerous amount of current ...

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 ...
