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.
2. V-I characteristics of a real diode Figure 1-2 When analyzing circuits, the real diode is usually replaced with a simpler model. The simplest form, the diode is modeled by a switch (Figure 1-3). The switch is closed when the diode is forward biased and open when the diode is reverse biased.
