2. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

   If the light bulbs are connected in parallel, the currents through the light bulbs combine to form the current in the battery, while the voltage drop is 12 volts across each bulb and they all glow. In a series circuit, every device must function for the circuit to be complete. If one bulb burns out in a series circuit, the entire circuit is broken.

3. Shunt (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

   If connected in series with the circuit it simply prevents reversed current, but if connected in parallel it can shunt the reversed supply, causing a fuse or other current limiting circuit to open. All semiconductor diodes have a threshold voltage – typically between 0.5 volt and 1 volt – that must be exceeded before significant current ...

4. Holiday lighting technology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holiday_lighting_technology

   Incandescent (midget) or LED-based sets usually have each lamp connected in series to be powered without a transformer in the set. Screw-base C7 and C9 light sets use line voltage (120 volt) bulbs and are wired in parallel. LED-based sets use a current-limiting resistor to reduce the current supplied to each LED. Neon-lamp-based sets have lamps ...

5. Electrical ballast - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_ballast

   A commonly used light in the home in the 1960s in 220–240 V countries was a circular tube ballasted by an under-run regular mains filament lamp. Self ballasted mercury-vapor lamps incorporate ordinary tungsten filaments within the overall envelope of the lamp to act as the ballast, and it supplements the otherwise lacking red area of the ...

6. 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.

7. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   In a series configuration, if a single battery dies, the other batteries will not be able to power the load. Parallel configuration If the goal is to increase capacity and prolong the runtime of the inverter, batteries can be connected in parallel. This increases the overall ampere hour (Ah) rating of the battery set.
