Other Components

• When voltage sources are connected in series the total voltage is the sum of the individual voltages
• When voltage sources are connected in parallel the voltage across each will be the same; current capacity is increased as current drain is shared between the sources
• Caution is needed if voltage sources are to be connected in parallel as small differences in terminal voltage may cause a circulating current between the sources, dependant on internal resistance
