New cards
Current (Series)
(I/Amps) Remains the same
2
New cards
Current (Parallel)
(I/Amps) Each branch should add up to the total current of a circuit.
3
New cards
Voltage (Series)
(V) Has to add up to the total voltage of a circuit.
4
New cards
Voltage (Parallel)
(V) Voltage Remains The Same
5
New cards
Total Resistance (Series)
(Ω) Found with ohms law
6
New cards
Total Resistance (Parallel)
(Ω) Found with ohms law
7
New cards
Loop Rule (Series and Parallel)
(For Voltage) The voltage gained at the battery must be lost through the circuit
8
New cards
Junction Rule (Series)
(For I/Amps) No junction, current is the same everywhere
9
New cards
Junction Rule (Parallel)
(For I/Amps) The current can "choose" the path of the least resistance, dividing it in half.
