In Part 1 of the Electronics for Kids series, we looked at LEDs; in Part 2, we explored capacitors; and in Part 3, we took an in-depth look at electrical measurements. In this article, we will focus ...

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.

When resistors are connected in parallel, we know that the potential difference across each resistor is the same but the current through each resistor adds up to the current through the supply. By ...

When designing a handheld device with a colour display using white LEDs for backlighting, is it better to use parallel or series connected LEDs? Both architectures have their own advantages when you ...

We all carry supercomputers in our pockets and use dozens of electric gizmos every day but rarely stop to marvel at the magical act of flicking a switch. Use your ordinary conducting and extraordinary ...

Low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) is a widely used differential signaling technology for high-speed digital-signal interconnections. In many applications, the LVDS receiver needs a fail-safe ...

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 ...

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 ...
