Previous tutorials have described that resistors may either be connected as a series circuit or a parallel circuit where the currents and voltages are obtained using Ohm’s Law. To produce more complex ...

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 ...

Large, high-voltage rechargeable battery systems are now common sources of power in applications ranging from electric vehicles to power grid load leveling systems. These large battery stacks are ...

A 6-V battery powers a circuit with parallel branches on a board. Several wires and light bulbs plug into the board to make various series and parallel circuits. The brightness of the bulbs changes ...

Electric circuits often consist of several elements, some combined in series and others in parallel. The methods used to analyze series and parallel circuits can be combined to analyze these ...
