Parallel Circuit Calculations provides a comprehensive overview of the rules and formulas used to calculate electrical quantities and capacity. Using a direct current parallel circuit as an example, ...

In my previous article on photovoltaic (PV) systems (“The Highs and Lows of Photovoltaic System Calculations” in the July 2012 issue), I went through methods to calculate the changes in voltage due to ...

When more than two resistors are connected in parallel the equation becomes:\(\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R}_{1}+\frac{1}{R}_{2}+\frac{1}{R}_{3}\) The supply voltage is a measure of the energy supplied to ...

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 ...
