  2. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    In a series circuit, the current that flows through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the individual voltage drops across each component. [1] 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 ...

  3. Common mode current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Mode_Current

    Common mode is the result of parasitics in the circuit and results from undesired voltage drops in the conductors. [4] Clayton R. Paul provide a simple illustration that explains CM and DM terms on his book. [5] A pair of parallel conductors with current Î 1 and Î 2 flowing on each conductor, which can be decomposed into CM and DM current ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_capacitor_paradox

    The description specified above is not physically realizable if the circuit is assumed to be made of ideal circuit elements, as is usual in circuit theory. If the series resistance of the wires and conductors in the circuit is R {\displaystyle R} , the initial current when the switch is closed is

  5. Electrical length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_length

    Equivalent circuit of a lossless transmission line. and represent the inductance and capacitance per unit length of a small section of line. In most transmission lines, the series resistance of the wires and shunt conductance of the insulation is low enough that the line can be approximated as lossless (see diagram). This means the inductance ...

  6. Millman's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millman's_theorem

    It can be proved by considering the circuit as a single supernode. [3] Then, according to Ohm and Kirchhoff, the voltage between the ends of the circuit is equal to the total current entering the supernode divided by the total equivalent conductance of the supernode. The total current is the sum of the currents in each branch.

  7. Electric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

    A flow of positive charges gives the same electric current, and has the same effect in a circuit, as an equal flow of negative charges in the opposite direction. Since current can be the flow of either positive or negative charges, or both, a convention is needed for the direction of current that is independent of the type of charge carriers ...

  8. Electrical network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_network

    A simple electric circuit made up of a voltage source and a resistor. Here, =, according to Ohm's law. An electrical network is an interconnection of electrical components (e.g., batteries, resistors, inductors, capacitors, switches, transistors) or a model of such an interconnection, consisting of electrical elements (e.g., voltage sources, current sources, resistances, inductances ...

  9. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    The temperatures at the sample contacts become different, their difference is linear in current. The voltage drop across the circuit includes additionally the Seebeck thermoelectromotive force which again is again linear in current. As a result, there exists a thermal correction to the sample resistance even at negligibly small current. [35]
