This is probably fairly straightforward for an EE to weigh in on so I thought I’d post this question here for posterity in the hopes that it’ll solve the issue for other designers. The challenge is ...

Look at the parallel circuit below - what is the reading on the voltmeter at each location when the switch is closed?

My high-school freshman (grade 9) is studying basic circuits in physics class. She asked me for help with the following circuit. We all know that you can’t have more current in a branch of a parallel ...

What do series and parallel circuits have to do with Christmas lights? In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini walks us through the differences between series and parallel circuits and how that ...

IN NATURE of January 30, 1908, some results were quoted by me with reference to the effective inductance of two long parallel wires when the change of current distribution due to frequency is taken ...

The voltmeter is connected in parallel with the component. The supply voltage is shared between components in a series circuit, so the sum of the voltages across all of the components in a series ...
