UEENEEE004B Solve problems in multiple path DC circuits

Parallel circuits

For these activities:

  • use Challenge to see how much you already know
  • use Reinforcement for extra practice.

For more information choose Resources, and look in Electrical principles under Circuits and Measurement.

Parallel calculations

Parallel circuit

How does the addition of extra loads in parallel affect a circuit?

Using electrical laws and mathematics, you can determine what will occur to a parallel circuit before you change the conditions.

These activities present questions and problems requiring calculations.

 

Parallel measurement

Measuring a parallel circuit

Parallel circuits are commonly used in homes and industrial buildings. As an electrician, it is important you can recognise, connect and measure values in parallel circuits.

These activities focus on connecting and testing a parallel circuit.
