Design parallel circuits.

Design should include

  • designating two or more paths for current to flow
  • using a conductor, a load, and a voltage source
  • placing loads
  • testing virtual output and branch currents for desired results.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What is a parallel circuit?
  • What are the minimum requirements to complete a parallel circuit? How do parallel circuits differ from series circuits?
  • How is a parallel circuit affected by a broken path?
  • What information can virtual test equipment provide?
