Parallel Circuit
Parallel circuits are those circuits which have two or more components connected across the same voltage source (Figure 17). Resistors
Series Circuit
A series circuit is a circuit where there is only one path for current flow. In a series circuit (Figure
Electric Circuit : Open & Short Circuits
Each electrical circuit has at least four basic parts: a source of electromotive force, conductors, load or loads, and some
Resistivity
Resistivity is defined as the measure of the resistance a material imposes on current flow. The resistance of a given
Wiring Diagram
A wiring diagram is a very simple way to show wiring connections in an easy-to-follow manner. These types of diagrams
Block Diagram
A block diagram is used to show the relationship between component groups, or stages in a circuit. In block form,
Single Line Diagram
The one-line, or single-line, diagram shows the components of a circuit by means of single lines and the appropriate graphic
Schematic Diagram
Schematic diagrams are the standard means by which we communicate information in electrical and electronics circuits. On schematic diagrams, the
Full-Wave Rectifier Circuit
A full-wave rectifier circuit is a circuit that rectifies the entire cycle of the AC sine-wave. A basic full-wave rectifier
Half-Wave Rectifier Circuit
When a diode is connected to a source of alternating voltage, it will be alternately forward-biased, and then reverse-biased, during
