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.

A parallel circuit allows electric current to flow through multiple paths simultaneously. Components within a parallel circuit maintain a consistent voltage across all connections.

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 ...

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 ...

However, the parallel connection on the secondary-side AC-link could cause a circulating current. Therefore, this paper develops an equivalent circuit model of the proposed converter and theoretically ...

When using many rectifying devices, higher harmonic components of currents absorbed by them from the grid become significantly important. They can cause very harmful phenomena connected with grid ...
