Previous tutorials have shown the properties and characteristics of simple resistor-only and inductor-only AC circuits. We will now investigate the effects of combining the two components together.

Two circuits, the impedances of which are given by Z1 = 15 + j12 ohms and Z2 = 8 – j5 ohms are connected in parallel. If the potential difference across one of the impedance is 250 + j0 V, calculate: ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Generating a high-frequency magnetic field can be quite a challenge due to an assortment of technical issues. At high ...

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 ...

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.
