  2. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component. [1] Consider a very simple circuit consisting of four light bulbs and a 12-volt automotive battery. If a wire joins the battery to one bulb, to the next bulb, to the next bulb, to the ...

  3. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    An RLC circuit is an electrical circuit consisting of a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C), connected in series or in parallel. The name of the circuit is derived from the letters that are used to denote the constituent components of this circuit, where the sequence of the components may vary from RLC.

  4. Two capacitor paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_capacitor_paradox

    Two identical capacitors are connected in parallel with an open switch between them. One of the capacitors is charged with a voltage of V i {\displaystyle V_{i}} , the other is uncharged. When the switch is closed, some of the charge Q = C V i {\displaystyle Q=CV_{i}} on the first capacitor flows into the second, reducing the voltage on the ...

  6. Millman's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millman's_theorem

    In electrical engineering, Millman's theorem [1] (or the parallel generator theorem) is a method to simplify the solution of a circuit. Specifically, Millman's theorem is used to compute the voltage at the ends of a circuit made up of only branches in parallel. It is named after Jacob Millman, who proved the theorem.

  7. Switched capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_capacitor

    This circuit is called a parallel resistor simulation because in and out are connected in parallel and not directly coupled. Other types of SC simulated resistor circuits are bilinear resistor simulation, series resistor simulation, series-parallel resistor simulation, and parasitic-insensitive resistor simulation.

  8. Thévenin's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thévenin's_theorem

    Thévenin's theorem and its dual, Norton's theorem, are widely used to make circuit analysis simpler and to study a circuit's initial-condition and steady-state response. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Thévenin's theorem can be used to convert any circuit's sources and impedances to a Thévenin equivalent ; use of the theorem may in some cases be more convenient ...

  9. Parallel communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_communication

    Parallel communication is and always has been widely used within integrated circuits, in peripheral buses, and in memory devices such as RAM. Computer system buses, on the other hand, have evolved over time: parallel communication was commonly used in earlier system buses, whereas serial communications are prevalent in modern computers.
