3.0 SYNOPSIS & THEORY

When two resistors are connected in series, the total resistances are:

When these resistors are connected in series with a voltage source, the current in the circuit
is given as:

I = (E / RT)

When two resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance is:

2
The following rules apply to all circuits.

The same current occurs through all series elements.

The same voltage appears across all parallel elements.

The total current I delivered by the emf branches through the individual resistors such that it
equals the sum of the individual currents (Charge Conservation Principle):
I = Ir1 + Ir2 + ... + In.
