Resistance in Series and Parallel
- The amount of current through branches of a circuit, and the differences in electric potential between points in a circuit depends upon:
- Kifchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)
- Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL)
- Ohm's Law
- No matter how complicated the circuit, all can be analyzed by using the above three laws.
- Analysing a circuit means to determine
- the current through it
- the potential difference across it
- the value of the resistances
- When several resistances are present, analysis often means determining the total resistance present.
Resistance in Series
- Resistance in Series means that resistors are placed one after the next so that electrons must flow through each and every resistor.
