SOLVING CIRCUITS
Series circuits
CURRENTS: The current flowing through all of the resistors in the circuit is the same and is equal to the current of the equivalent circuit.
It = I1 = I2 = ... = In
VOLTAGES: The total voltage delivered by the power source in the sum of the potential drops across each of the resistors.
Vt = V1 + V2 + .... + Vn
RESISTANCES: The equivalent resistance in equal to the sum of all resistance in the circuit.
Rt = R1 + R2 + ... + Rn
Parallel circuits
RESISTANCES: The inverse of the equivalent resistance is equal to the sum of the inverses of all resistance in the circuit.
1/ Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + ... + 1/Rn
Currents: The current of the equivalent circuit is equal to the sum of the current flowing across each of the resistors.
It = I1 + I2 + ... + In
VOLTAGES: The total voltage delivered by the power source in the same as the potential drops across each of the resistors.
Vt = V1 = V2 = ... = Vn
