If there are no branches then it's a series circuit. If there are branches it's a parallel circuit. In a television series, you get several episodes, one after the other. A series circuit is similar.

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 ...

In a parallel circuit, different components are connected on different branches of the wire. If you follow the circuit diagram from one side of the cell to the other, you can only pass through all the ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...

This Power Tip shows you how to do a quick conversion of parallel-to-series complex impedances (and vice versa). It also shows that a graphical representation of this transformation as a function of ...

Abstract: Solid-state dc circuit breaker (SSCB) has become a key component for fast fault isolation in high-voltage dc systems. However, their effectiveness often relies on complex series and parallel ...

An anti-log amplifier design with a temperature-compensation network built around a nearly linear PTC thermistor.

Abstract: With the development of DC grids, hybrid DC circuit breaker (HDCCB) has become the research hot-spot for DC interruption. For HDCCB composed of vacuum switches in parallel with IGBTs, the ...
