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.

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 ...

It’s often necessary to connect point-of- load (POL) dc/dc power supply modules in parallel to get a sufficiently high-current output for applications such as test instruments, blade servers, and so ...

Because stationary batteries and 48VDC power systems serve as lifelines for telecommunication networks, the reliability of these systems is of the utmost importance. Many system designers rely on ...

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 ...

1) Position 1: more than \(0.1 A\), \(0.1 A\) or less than \(0.1 A\)? 2) Position 2: more than \(0.1 A\), \(0.1 A\) or less than \(0.1 A\)? 3) Position 3: more than ...
