(Series Circuit) | Series Circuit :- The total voltage is the sum of the voltage on each component. The total resistance is equal to the sum of the resistance on each component.eq 1: V0 = V1+ V2 + V3 +...+ Vn(In this case, VT = V1+ V2) eq 2: R0 = R1 + R2 + R3 +...+ Rn(In this case, RT = R1 + R2) The total current is equal in every component. eq 3: I0 = I1 = I2= I3= I4 =...= In(In this case, IT = I1 = I2) |
Parallel Circuit:-
(Parallel Circuit) | The total voltage is equal in every component. eq 4: V0 = V1= V2= V3 =...= Vn(In this case, VT = V1= V2) The resistance is equal to the sum of resistance on each component divided by the product of resistance of each component. eq 5: 1/R0 = 1/R1 + 1/R2 +...+ 1/Rn(In this case, 1/RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2) The total current is equal to the sum of current in each component. eq 6: I0= I1 + I2 + I3 + I4 +...+ In(In this case, IT = I1 + I2) |
