Have a question in regards to a parallel circiut..whats a parallel circuit are the proportinal to their wattage or resisitance?

 

Hi,
I think we need a bit more information to help you out! If you had a schematic you are thinking about, or could be a little bit more detailed....
Components or devices in parallel are connected to the power supply, or other circuits/devices, like this: The P's could be light bulbs....

In general, components that are paralleled, such as resistors, will 'split' the current and have less resistance....50% if there are 2 of equal value.
A basic electronics tutorial would help to explain this better - I bet one of the E-books available online here would help!!

 

Yes!! this really works for me, we did a hands on project in class last week and I dont have a problem doing it because its hands on but expalining it in theory via omhs and watts law requires more attention and help for me to grasp solidly. I know it but seems like its not a part of my thinking process as its required for my studies. Thanks for your help.

 

Sorry where can i find a Ebook?

 

Glad you found that helpful, A.A! At the very top of the page, the title bar is actually full of links to "E-books". They are online, free tutorials about how to begin working with electronics. If you work hard with Ohm's Law, you will find later projects to be much easier! This is a link to the 1st E-book, enjoy! You may then find something more concrete that you'd need help with - you can post an image and it will be easy to help you understand the ideas better.
