Two lamps connected in series with an open switch and a cell The circuit diagram shows a circuit with two lamps connected in series. If one lamp breaks, the other lamp will not light. The current is ...

We use circuit symbols to draw diagrams of electrical circuits, with straight lines to show the wires. The diagram shows some common circuit symbols. Make sure you know the difference between these ...

When you start to explore the world of electronics, you may hear the terms “series circuit” and “parallel circuit” used frequently. While both types of circuits may sound similar, they operate quite ...

Electrical circuits transport alternating or direct current through closed-loop interconnections between electrical components. Different arrangements and configurations of these components make ...

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 ...

Abstract: It is shown that a relatively simple dynamical dc electric arc model shows complicated two-parameter (2-D) bifurcations with both periodic and chaotic responses. 2-D bifurcation diagrams for ...

Abstract: While the emergence of multi-core shared-memory machines offers a promising computing solution to ever complex chip design problems, new parallel CAD methodologies must be developed to gain ...
