Kirchoffs Current Law (KCL)
The algebraic sum of currents entering a node
is zero
Add each branch current entering the node and
subtract each branch current leaving the node
currents in - currents out = 0
Or currents in = currents out

Series Circuit
Series circuit - has only one path through
which the electricity can flow.
In the above diagram, the electricity flows
through both loads.

Current and Resistance in Series Circuits
For the series circuit the same current flows throughboth loads.
The loads can be added together to calculate the
total load. Rtot = R1 + R2, where Rtot is the total resistance, R1is the resistance of one load, and R2 is the resistanceof the other.
The total load (resistance) in a series circuit with nloads is the sum of the resistance of the n objects.Rtot = R1 + R2 + + Rn.

Total Voltage in a Series Circuit
Ohms Law can be used to calculate the total
voltage in a series circuit by calculating the
sum of the voltage parts.
V = V1 + V2, where V is the total voltage
(battery voltage), V1 is the voltage at the first
load, and V2 is the voltage at the other load.

Parallel Circuits
A parallel circuithas multiple paths through
which the electricity can flow.
In a parallel circuit, the current though one
path may be different than the current
through the other path.

Resistance in Parallel Circuits
Using Ohms Law you can derive a formula forthe equivalent resistance of two resistors inparallel.
I1 = V/R1 I2 = V/R2
I = I1 + I2 = V/R1 + V/R2
= (VR2 + VR1)/R1R2 = V(R2+R1)/R1R2 Rtot = V/(V(R2+R1)/ R1R2 = R1R2/(R1+R2)
