Title: Construct parallel circuits.
Course: Electronics/Industrial Robotics Technology (17101-I) > Section: Working with DC Circuits

Construction should include

- defining the characteristics of a parallel circuit
- calculating current, voltage, resistance, and power in a parallel circuit, using Ohm's law, Watt's law, and Kirchoff's law
- measuring resistance, voltage, and current in a parallel circuit
- identifying parallel circuits at home and in industry
- troubleshooting parallel circuits.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are identifying characteristics that distinguish a parallel circuit from a series circuit?
- How is Kirchoff's current law applied in the study of parallel circuits?
- What is the formula used to find total circuit resistance (RT) in a parallel circuit?
