- In this informative UA-cam video, we dive into the fundamental concepts of series and parallel circuits, providing clear explanations and practical demonstrations to help viewers understand the differences between these two circuit configurations.
Through engaging visuals and insightful commentary, we explore how series circuits are arranged in a sequential manner, with components connected end-to-end, while parallel circuits feature multiple branches where components are connected across common points.
We'll showcase practical examples and real-world applications of both series and parallel circuits, highlighting their unique characteristics and advantages. Additionally, we'll discuss how voltage, current, and resistance behave differently in each type of circuit configuration, offering viewers a comprehensive understanding of their operational principles.
Whether you're a student studying electrical engineering, a DIY enthusiast, or simply curious about the basics of circuitry, this video provides valuable insights into series and parallel circuits. Join us as we unravel the mysteries of circuit design and explore the practical implications of different circuit configurations in various electronic devices and systems.
This gentleman is a God send. Every parent should have their children watch his videos.
Thank you sir for what you do. Keep up the incredible work.
Really appreciate the kind words. You made my day. Have a great day. Stay in touch. Jason.
Thank you so much Jason! I really appreciate your videos they are excellent!☺️
I appreciate that!
The best taecher ever💯💯👍
Another great explanation
Nice 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video
Thanks!
Beautifully lectured as always in every each one of them; as i said it before you are "Fred Rogers" of the science and math in same soothing style..
Wow, I love that comparison, thank you!
😊makes sense
Harika olmuş hocam çok teşekkür ederim.
This video is so easy to understand. Thank You. 👍
By the way, is there no Req for the parallel?
Basically what i remember being taught was that when adding resisors in a parallel circuit;
1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

Hi,
i just bought your membership but i unfortunately dont get any of your old videos included. your old videos were gold and its not included in my membership unfotunately.. any way i could get them?
Actually, all of my videos are on the site so I’m sure you just need help locating it. Exactly what video are you looking for? Or you can send us a message directly through the contact link on the site I will get back to you with the link.
@@MathAndScience hello there
sir do you like video games
In a series circuit, voltage developed across each resistor is directly proportional it's resistance while current remaining the same.
👍
Nice explanation. What is your view on using conductance (where G=1/R, and using a variation of Ohm's Law, I=E*G) to figure out the current in a parallel circuit?
One might say or think, "there' a physical resistor in the physical circuit setup", which is true but since math calculations are a logical task and not physical it's another way to analyze the circuit Like the terms Resistance and Resistor are not the same, Resistance is a concept, and a resistor is a physical component. I may not have the technical knowledge and prose to explain it fully, it's what I was taught (or remember being taught).
When you say light bulbs are never wired in a series I disagree with that. Christmas tree lights are wired in series and so if they stop working you have to hunt the bad light or fuse.
Maybe never was too strong of a word. But I was just trying to point out the advantages and disadvantages. Thanks for the thoughtful comment.
Hi - That was true in days (long) gone by when christmas tree lights used small low voltage "filament" type lamps intended to be connected "in series" directly to the house supply ( 240V in the uk 110V in the US and elsewhere).
Typically - each lamp would have a working voltage of 6 or 12volts - so if we assume lamps of 12V - then for a 240 v supply - we would need 20 lamps in series (240/12) to enable direct connection to the "house" supply.
There are two problems here:
1 - if one lamp fails ( as they often did especially when powered back up again after being stored for 12 months since last christmas when they DID work,,,, but dont now !!)) - ALL the lamps go out - and it is a right pain to find the faulty one. One had to remove each lamp in turn and either test it or replace with a known good one. - and often there might be more than one lamp that had failed. So having a test meter was essential!
2. IF there is only ONE LAMP faulty - usually due to the filament going open circuit - it will in that case have FULL line potential (240V) across its contacts !!! So one had to be VERY careful in diagnosing the fault. ( if working "live" - which people often did just to "try" another lamp...)
All christmas tree /decorative lights are now LED - and they are wired in parallel - that is they run on low voltage via a safe fully isolated supply to connect to 240V - and in most cases using multicolour controllable LED's fed from an intelligent supply enabling selection of different colours and switching patterns.
Often these use a three wire system one for digital control and the other 2 for power.
@ Yes, also some folks will light their back patios with string lights but I know what you meant...you meant in a home environment, I was just messing with you!
Cheap xmas light yes. Lol. Buy the expensive parallel ones. Youll be happy and keep your sanity and wont need a bulb checker :)
Between 14:20 and 15:00 you discussed, in general terms, the conductivity of various materials and said that water is not a good conductor of electricity. I will like to point out that people die from introducing water to high voltage circuits; something that you really should have explained in more detail. Also, water will short-out low voltage circuitry so the fact that it has a significant influence on the circuit means that you were amiss in not highlighting this aspect.
Or simply not have introduced water at all into your lecture.
CRUMB Circuit Simulator + the above theory
"water is not a good conductor". Why there is always a warning for not using the appliance near water?
That’s a great question. I’ll probably do a video just on that one day. Pure water is basically an insulator and does not connect electricity. The reason why there’s warnings on everything is when you sit in a bathtub or put your hands in the water than any salt, perspiration, or anything like that will dissolve in the water and when salt is dissolved in the water it is a very good conductor.
Jason please don't say "here's the deal ", it creeps me out and you can imagine why.
