I discussed the primary options (serial and parallel) for merging the outputs of multiple solar panels, the respective strengths and shortcomings of the two approaches and, in the parallel-connection ...

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.

Series and Parallel Circuit Series and parallel circuits are two fundamental configurations in electrical circuits, each with distinct characteristics that affect how electricity flows through them.

A solar day lamp is a simple, inexpensive device for bringing “daylight” to dark interior spaces whenever the sun is shining. This article provides complete instructions for designing lamps using both ...

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 ...

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 ...
