How to Wire a Circuit "In Parallel" There are two basic types of electrical circuits; series and parallel. A complex circuit can consist of sub circuits of each kind. In a series circuit, the path of electrons from the negative (-) side to the positive (+) side goes through all the electrical components of the circuit. Another way to think of this is that if you open the circuit at one point, on either side of a component, there is no complete path for the electrons to follow from - to + for any of the components. A good example of this for those of you old enough to remember is the old style Christmas lights where if one light were to burn out, the whole series of lights would go out. Series circuits are used extensively in electronics but rarely by someone who is providing power to electrical components such as supplying power to a group of lights as in the case of low voltage LED lights sold by Berkeley Point. A simple schematic of a series circuit containing three electri...

What is an Ammeter : Circuit Diagram and Its Types We know that  meter  is an electronic device used to measure a particular quantity and it is associated with the measurement system. Similarly, the ammeter is nothing but ampere-meter used to measure ampere value. Here ampere is the unit of current and ammeter is used to measure current. There are two kinds of electric current namely  AC and DC . AC changes the flow of current direction at regular intervals whereas the DC supplies the current in one direction. This article discusses an overview of what is an ammeter, circuit, types, and applications. What is an Ammeter? Definition:  A device or instrument that is used to measure the current is called the ammeter. The unit of  the current  is ampere. So this device measures the current flow in ampere is named as an ammeter or ampere meter. The internal  resistance  of this device is ‘0’ however in practical; it has some amount of internal resistanc...

A single-phase transformer is an electrical device that accepts  single-phase AC power  and outputs single-phase AC. This is used in the distribution of power in non-urban areas as the overall demand and costs involved are lower than the 3-phase distribution transformer. They are used as a step-down transformer to decrease the home voltage to a suitable value without a change in frequency. For this reason, it is commonly used to  power electronic  appliances at residences. This article discusses an overview of a single-phase transformer. What is a Single Phase Transformer? Definition:  A  transformer  is a device which converts magnetic energy into electrical energy. It consists of two electrical coils called as a primary winding and secondary winding. The primary  winding  of a transformer receives power, while the secondary winding delivers power. A magnetic iron circuit called “core” is commonly used to wrap around these coils. Though thes...
