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 ...

The current flowing in a parallel circuit can be investigated by connecting the circuit below. Once more, put one ammeter in position A 1 and record the reading in a suitable table. The current in a ...
