What+is+a+parallel+circut?

Two or more electrical devices in a circuit can be connected by series connections or by parallel connections. When all the devices are connected using parallel connections, the circuit is referred to as a **parallel circuit**. In a parallel circuit, each device is placed in its own separate //branch//. The presence of branch lines means that there are multiple pathways by which charge can traverse the external circuit. Each charge passing through the loop of the external circuit will pass through a single resistor present in a single branch. When arriving at the branching location or node, a charge //makes a choice// as to which branch to travel through on its journey back to the low potential terminal. When a parrellel circuts power score give off power this power is given out evenly which makes the load have more power.

[|Inductors] follow the same law, in that the total [|inductance] of non-coupled inductors in parallel is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of their individual inductances: . If the inductors are situated in each other's magnetic fields, this approach is invalid due to mutual inductance. If the mutual inductance between two coils in parallel is M, the equivalent inductor is: If //L//1 = //L//2 The sign of //M// depends on how the magnetic fields influence each other. For two equal tightly coupled coils the total inductance is close to that of each single coil. If the polarity of one coil is reversed so that M is negative, then the parallel inductance is nearly zero or the combination is almost non-inductive. We are assuming in the "tightly coupled" case M is very nearly equal to L. However, if the inductances are not equal and the coils are tightly coupled there can be near short circuit conditions and high circulating currents for both positive and negative values of M, which can cause problems
