Parallel Circuit - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. Welcome to this video looking at another basic of electrical engineering and circuitry. Understanding these basics, like ohm's law, and series and parallel circuits, lays a foundation for our future discussions of electrical components in x-ray tubes and other medical imaging systems. There are three basic properties of electricity. There's the voltage represented by the letter v. The resistance, which is given the letter r, and current, which is given the letter I. In this video, we'll be discussing the parallel circuit and learning how to determine the resistance and current in this parallel arrangement. Let's start with a quick definition. A parallel circuit is a network of electrical components each connected to the power source by a different path. And maintaining consistent voltage across the circuit. In other words, in a parallel circuit,
