INTRODUCTION To understand how electric drive vehicles work and how to maintain them, you must have an understanding of electricity. This chapter will not cover this topic in depth; rather, it covers the fundamentals. All things are made up of atoms, which are extremely small particles. In the center of every atom is a nucleus.

In a series circuit, the total amount of resistance in the circuit is equal to the sum of all the individual resistors, and the sum of all voltage drops in a series circuit equals source voltage. A parallel circuit provides two or more different paths for the current flow. Each path has separate resistors (loads) and can operate independently of the other paths (Figure 2-12). The different paths for current flow are commonly called the legs of a parallel circuit. A parallel circuit is characterized by the following facts: n n n n Total circuit resistance is always lower than the resistance of the leg with the lowest total resistance.
