Definition: A type of lipid that consists of glycerol with three fatty acids bound to it. A high triglyceride count in a person's blood is a symptom of diseases such as diabetes. The body needs insulin to remove excess triglycerides from the blood.
Answers: Circuits that require the same voltage are best connected in parallel as the same voltage is applied to all devices. The advantage is that if a device fails the rest of the devices in a circuit still operate.
The parallel circuit has very different characteristics than a series circuit. For one, the total resistance of a Parallel Circuit is NOT equal to the sum of the resistors (like in a series circuit). The total resistance in a parallel circuit is always less than any of the branch resistances. Adding more parallel resistances to the paths causes the total resistance in the circuit to decrease.
