In circuits connected in parallel, the components are connected on different branches. Find out more with BBC Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

Series and Parallel Circuit Series and parallel circuits are two fundamental configurations in electrical circuits, each with distinct characteristics that affect how electricity flows through them.

Circuits so interesting you can’t possibly get board. This simple circuit board lets you easily connect small holiday lights in a variety of ways and learn some of the characteristics of series and ...

The potential difference across the capacitor can be written as: Here C is the value of the capacitance in units of Farads---it also only depends on the physical configuration of the device.
