A parallel circuit is way of connecting components on separate branches, so the current can take different routes around the circuit. The current is different in different parts of a parallel circuit.

Learn how to find electric current in all branches with this beginner-friendly circuit analysis tutorial! In this step-by-step video, we break down the concepts, techniques, and calculations needed to ...

Find the voltage v1 and the currents I1 and I2 for the circuit shown. To solve this problem first find the total current going through the 14 ohm resistor. To do this find the effective resistance of ...

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 ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...
