Series vs. Parallel Circuits
• Series circuit have only one path– IT = I1 = I2 = I3…
– VT = V1 + V2 + V3…
– RT = R1 + R2 + R3…
• Parallel circuits have more than one path– IT = I1 + I2 + I3…
– VT = V1 = V2 = V3…
– 1/RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3…

Loads in Series
• More loads = more resistance

Loads in Parallel
• Current will divide and junction points

Measuring Voltage
• Voltmeter• Connected in parallel• Measuring voltage across resistance– Require two points

Measuring Amperes
• Ammeter• Connected in series• Measuring current passing through resistance

Circuit Diagrams
• Drawing of circuit using symbols
