What are Branches, Nodes, and Loops with Series and Parallel Components? | Basic Electronics

When you first start learning about circuits, you may wonder, "What are branches, nodes and loops with series and parallel components? And how are they related?" Shortly, these terms will become second nature and their relationship will become intuitive to you. Until then, let's answer these questions and get a better idea of not only what a branch, node, and loop is but also why they're so important to you. As always, we highly recommend you check out the written tutorial as well - https://www.circuitbread.com/tutorial...

We're grateful to the support of our Friend of CircuitBread Ohmite! Ohmite manufactures many different passive components but they are famous for their resistors.
