Ohms LawResistanceOhms LawOhms Law: Is the relationship between voltage, current and resistance.

Series CircuitsA series circuit has only one path for the charges to follow.

Current in Series CircuitsIn a series circuit, there is only one path for the current to follow. Therefore, the current in all parts of the circuit will be the same.

Resistance in Series CircuitsPutting two resistors in series with one another further restricts the current flow.

Potential Difference in Series Circuits

Potential Difference in Series Circuitsin any closed circuit loop, the sum of the potential difference drops through all the components must be zero.

Potential Difference in Series Circuits

Series CircuitsDetermine the current, total resistance, and voltage drops through all the resistors in the circuit

Series Circuits

Parallel CircuitsA parallel circuit is a closed circuit in which the current has more than one path, or branch, to follow

Current in Parallel Circuits

Current in Parallel CircuitsKirchhoffs current law, which states that the current entering junction must be equal to the current leaving the junction.

Resistance in Parallel Circuits

Potential Difference in Parallel CircuitsKirchhoffs voltage law: the sum of the potential difference drops through all the components must be zero.
