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.

You can investigate voltage across cells and lamps in a series and parallel circuit by connecting the following circuits. Put one voltmeter in position V 1 and record the reading in a suitable table.

Researchers recently tackled a simple circuit in the visual processing area of a chicken's brain that detects motion in its field of view -- with surprising results.

A very simple but highly efficient combination lock circuit is shown in the figure. Any type of on/off switches can be used, varying from commercially available inexpensive types ...

An RC circuit in series with the coil allows full-current turn-on for reliable relay operation, then reduces the current to save power.

The number of potential temperature and solvent combinations thus makes screening conditions through a parallel approach to temperature controlled crystallization much more efficient, and in many ...
