Because, unlike a simple string of lights in a series circuit, these are all arranged in a parallel circuit. And you can think of a parallel circuit as having several different routes that all run ...

circuit analysis and network theorems; linearity and superposition; series/parallel combinations of R, L, and C circuits; sinusoidal forcing; complex frequency and Bode plots; mutual inductance and ...

On a test I took in fourth grade, one question required me to list the similarities between series and parallel circuits. “No matter which one you stick your finger into, you’ll get electrocuted,” ...
