SERIES CONNECTION

A circuit in which two or more elements are connected end to end i.e. one after another & same
current flows through all elements is known as series connection of resistance. Figure shows
three resistances connected in series obviously current flowing through each resistance will be
same but voltage drop across each of them will vary as per value of individual resistance. Also
the sum of all voltage drops (V1+V2+V3) is equal to the applied voltage (V).

Using ohm‟s law: V=IR


V = V1 + V2 + V3
IR = IR1+IR2+IR3

IR = I (R1+R2+R3)

R = R1+R2+R3+…. + Rn
Where R is the equivalent resistance of series combination

PARALLEL CONNECTION

V R1 R2 R3

Fig2.2 Parallel Connection of Resistors


When one lead of resistance is joined together and similarly another leads are also joined
together the connection is parallel connection. Voltage V is applied across there two terminals
each resistor gets voltage V. Total current I taken from the supply am the sum of branch currents
I1, I2….
Let the equivalent resistance be R ohm
I = I1+I2+I3

V/R = V/R1 + V/R2+V/R3

V/R = V (1/R1+1/R2+1/R3)

1/R= 1/R1+ 1/R2+ 1/R3

Fig.2.3 Kirchhoff‟s Current Law


In a network algebraic sum of electric currents at any node is zero.
Currents flowing towards node are considered positive where as currents flowing away from
node is considered negative.
I1+I2-I3-I4-I5-I6 = 0
I1+I2 = I3+I4+I5+I6

KIRCHHOFF’S VOLTAGE LAW (KVL)

Fig 2.4 Kirchhoff‟s Voltage Law


The algebraic sum of product of current and resistance algebraic sum of voltage in a closed loop
is zero.
From the figure consider a closed path ABCDA

(-I1R1)+ (+E2) + (+I3R3) + (-E1) + (-I4R4) = 0

E2 – E1 = I1R1 - I3R3 + I4R4
