Hello Admins & Members,
First of all thank you for letting me into this most excellent community. This site is simply amazing.
Second, I am not actually a student of electricity/electronics. I come from the world of biology, but my research in the years to come will rely heavily on electronics so I need to have a solid grounding therein.
Third, here is my question. From a very basic, layman's point of view what is the significance of having a resistor and capacitor in parallel? What would be the advantage of such a setup versus having a resistor and capacitor in series? What kinds of electronics have RC circuits which the resistor and capacitor in parallel?
Thanks again everyone.
