Series and Parallel Circuits
Simple circuits (ones with only a few components) are usually fairly straightforward for beginners to understand. But, things can get sticky when other components come to the party. Where's the current going? What's the voltage doing? Can this be simplified for easier understanding? Fear not, intrepid reader. Valuable information follows.
In this tutorial, we’ll first discuss the difference between series circuits and parallel circuits, using circuits containing the most basic of components -- resistors and batteries -- to show the difference between the two configurations. We’ll then explore what happens in series and parallel circuits when you combine different types of components, such as capacitors and inductors.
