  2. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component. [1] Consider a very simple circuit consisting of four light bulbs and a 12-volt automotive battery. If a wire joins the battery to one bulb, to the next bulb, to the next bulb, to the ...

  3. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

    In building wiring, multiway switching is the interconnection of two or more electrical switches to control an electrical load from more than one location.A common application is in lighting, where it allows the control of lamps from multiple locations, for example in a hallway, stairwell, or large room.

  4. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

    Wiring regulations govern the application of split-phase circuits so that the shared neutral can be protected from excess current. A neutral wire can be shared only by two circuits fed from opposite lines of the supply system, using circuit breakers connected by a bar so that both trip simultaneously ( [ 4 ] NEC 210.4); this prevents 120 V from ...

  5. Circuit topology (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_topology_(electrical)

    A network with two components or branches has only two possible topologies: series and parallel. Figure 1.2. Series and parallel topologies with two branches. Even for these simplest of topologies, the circuit can be presented in varying ways. Figure 1.3. All these topologies are identical. Series topology is a general name.

  6. Electrical network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_network

    A simple electric circuit made up of a voltage source and a resistor. Here, =, according to Ohm's law. An electrical network is an interconnection of electrical components (e.g., batteries, resistors, inductors, capacitors, switches, transistors) or a model of such an interconnection, consisting of electrical elements (e.g., voltage sources, current sources, resistances, inductances ...

  7. Electrical wiring in North America - Wikipedia

    For power circuits, the color-coding uses the same colors as residential construction, and adds the additional wires used for three-phase systems. Black, Red and Blue are used for hot wires and White is used as the neutral wire in a 120/208 V circuit. Brown, Orange and Yellow are used as hot wires and gray is used as the neutral wire in a 277/ ...

    [2] Thunderbolt (interface) also supports daisy-chained devices such as RAID arrays and computer monitors. [3] DisplayPort 1.2 and higher features Multi-Stream Transport (MST) mode. In this mode, multiple screens can be connected either using a hub or as a daisy chain. The Hexbus is the 10-wire bus of Texas Instruments, used in the TI-99/4A, CC ...
