| PARALLEL CIRCUITS | ||
The discussion of electrical circuits presented up to this point has been concerned with series circuits in which there is only one path for current. There is another basic type of circuit known as the PARALLEL CIRCUIT with which you must become familiar. The parallel circuit has more than one path for current as opposed to the series circuit, which has only one path for current. Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's law apply to all electrical circuits, but the characteristics of a parallel circuit are different than those of a series circuit. |
