Table 1 It can be seen that the voltage and current are calculated in a different way depending on if the circuit is series or parallel. For instance, voltage in a series circuit can be calculated using Ohms law, voltage equals current times resistance. The voltage in a

parallel circuit is equal across all resistors, that is, the initial voltage (E) is equal to the voltage across resistor 1 and resistor 2. The same is true for current. In a series circuit, the current at each resistor is equal to the initial current. In a parallel circuit, current must be solved by rearranging Ohms law. The Other Relationships equations relate voltage, current, and resistance. These relationships can be tested by gathering experimental data of the current and resistance at each resistor.
