RESISTORS IN SERIES

 A series circuit is when one end of the device

is connected to an end of another device.
When two or more resistances are connected
in series, the current through each resistance
at any point of the circuit will be the same.
 The voltage drop across each resistant is
dependent on the value of each
individual resistance. Since resistance is
directly proportional to voltage, the
higher resistance in the circuit will
develop a higher voltage drop.
 The sum of this individual voltage drops
is equal to the supply voltage. The total
circuit resistance is equal to the sum of
all the individual resistances.
Series Circuit General Formula

IT = I1 = I2 = I3 = … = IN
VSUPPLLY = V1 + V2 + V3 + … + VN
RT = R1 + R2 + R3 + … + RN
PT = P1 + P2 + P3 + … + PN

Resistors in Parallel

 A parallel circuit is where all circuit

components are connected across each
other. When two resistances are connected in
parallel, the voltage drop across each
individual resistance is equal to the applied
(supply) voltage.
 . On the other hand, the total current of the
circuit is equal to the sum of the individual
current in each resistance. The reciprocal of
the total resistance of the circuit is equal to
the sum of the reciprocal of each individual
resistance.
 Parallel Circuit General Formula

IT = I1 + I2 + I3 + … + IN
VSUPPLLY = V1 = V2 = V3 = … = VN
1/RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + … + 1/RN
PT = P1 + P2 + P3 + … + PN
