==Applications==
HereThere are some of the applications of the parallel operator in electronics, optics, and study of periodicity:
 
=== Circuit analysis ===
In [[electrical engineering]], the parallel operator can be used to calculate the total impedance of various [[Series and parallel circuits#Notation|serial and parallel]] electrical circuits.<ref group="nb" name="NB_Application" />
There is a [[duality (mathematics)|duality]] between the usual [[series sum|(series) sum]] and the parallel sum.<ref name="Ellerman_1995"/><ref name="Ellerman_2004"/>
 
For instance, the total [[electrical resistance|resistance]] of [[parallel resistors|resistors connected in parallel]] is the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual [[resistor]]s.
