REPLY:
That is what I meant - in parallel but with reversed polarity. At one
time I used the term anti-parallel but some people on this reflector
objected to it.
Quoting Wikipedia: "In electronics, two anti-parallel or
inverse-parallel devices are connected in parallel but with their
polarities reversed."
Perhaps we should start using one term or the other for clarity?
