Series and Parallel Circuit Series and parallel circuits are two fundamental configurations in electrical circuits, each with distinct characteristics that affect how electricity flows through them.

For example, often lawnmowers have two switches in series with each other so that both switches need to be pressed before the mower will turn on. The power ring circuit is also a parallel circuit. In ...

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 ...

Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, taking the form of conductive plates separated by an insulating material ...

In Part 1 of the Electronics for Kids series, we looked at LEDs; in Part 2, we explored capacitors; and in Part 3, we took an in-depth look at electrical measurements. In this article, we will focus ...

The current flowing in a series circuit is the same everywhere. Figure caption, A series circuit with two bulbs and one cell. The ammeter will read the same at points 1, 2 or 3. In series circuits, ...
