Learners observe current flow throughout the series portion and branches of a parallel circuit. This animated activity includes calculations and a short quiz.
How Adding Parallel Branches Increases Total Current
In this animated object, learners follow an analogy of water flowing through pipes and valves to see how current increases in a parallel circuit as branches are added.
Learners examine a general approach to solving for the current through, the voltage across, and the power dissipated by each resistor in a series DC circuit. A three-resistor series circuit is used as an example.
In this teaching and learning aid, the user can alter circuit variables and view how these changes affect circuit voltage, current, reactance, impedance, and phase angle.
Learners read about the vector diagram for a parallel RC circuit. This animated lesson presents information on current flow through each branch, total current, and phase angle.
