Parallel Op: In electrical engineering, a parallel op is an arrangement of two or more electrical components where the outputs are combined and fed back into the input. Each input is connected to a separate output, and the outputs are combined using a summing junction, typically a resistor.
Example: A parallel op can be used to:
Combine the output voltages of two sources
Compensate for power losses in a circuit
Provide a constant current source
Create a voltage divider
In parallel, the input current is divided among the components, and the output voltage is equal to the sum of the output voltages of the individual components. The input resistance is equal to the sum of the input resistances of the individual components
