1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3Rt = R1 x R2 / R1 + R2Rt = R (value)/ number of resistorsThe reciprocal of the total resistance is the
sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances

It = I1 + I2 + I3I1 = V1 / RtIt = 120V / 4Ω It= 30 AmpsThe total current of a circuit is calculated
adding the total individual currentsThe total resistance is calculated using total
voltage and total resistance

Parallel Circuit RecapParallel Circuit Recap
Electricity takes separate paths through the resistors and back to the source
If a resistor is broken then that particular section of circuit will not work. The remaining paths will still function

1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3Rt = R1 x R2 / R1 + R2 (with only 2)Rt = R (value)/ number of resistors (when
all resistor values are the same)Vt = V1 = V2 = V3It = I1 + I2 + I3
