The current flowing in a parallel circuit can be investigated by connecting the circuit below. Once more, put one ammeter in position A 1 and record the reading in a suitable table. The current in ...

In National 4 Physics examine the current and voltage in series and parallel circuits to formulate rules and determine unknown values.

The primary distinction between series and parallel circuits lies in how current flows through the components. In a series circuit, the identical current passes through every component connected ...

Their maximum output current, however, is 350 mA. Also, with maximum input voltages of 16 V, each IC would dissipate 3.6 W, far too much for one package to handle.

Figure 1 shows an 8- to 40-V input, 5-V output at 4-A maximum load current, dc-dc converter. It uses two LT3430 60-V monolithic, 3-A (peak switch current) buck regulators in parallel.

Without current sharing, a two-phase, 20-A supply with two 10-A POLs in parallel might see one channel providing 16 A and the other only 4 A.
