    A series circuit has one path for current to flow through the components. All components experience the same current. The total resistance of a series circuit equals the sum of the individual resistances. A parallel circuit has multiple paths for current to flow. If one component breaks, current can still flow through other paths. The total resistance of a parallel circuit equals the inverse of the sum of the inverses of the individual resistances. Electrical power represents the rate of energy transfer and is measured in watts. Electrical energy represents the presence and flow of electric charge and is measured in watt-hours.

    CIRCUITS

    Electric Power and


    Energy
    SERIES CIRCUIT:

    - There is only ONE PATH for


    the electrons to take between
    any two points in the circuit.
    *There will be no alternative
    route.

    - Has more than one


    RESISTOR. Since there is
    only one path for the current to
    travel, the current through
    each of the resistors is the
    same.
    *Resistors are components that
    are used to control the amount
    of current flowing in a circuit.
    PARALLEL CIRCUITS:

    - Two or more components are


    connected between the same
    two points.

    - Has more than one resistor


    and gets its name form having
    multiple paths to move along.
    * Charges can move through
    any of the several paths. If
    one of the items in the circuit is
    broken, then no charge will
    move through that path. But
    other paths will continue to have
    charges flow through them.

    CIRCUIT CIRCUIT

    DESCRIPTION If one the items in the If one of the items in


    circuit is broken, then the circuit is broken
    no charge will move then no charge will
    through the circuit move through that
    because there is only path, but OTHER
    ONE PATH. PATHS will continue
    to have charges flow
    through them.
    RESISTOR As more resistors are As the number of
    added, the overall resistors increases,
    current in the circuit the overall current
    decreases. also increases.
    EQUIVALENT RESISTANCE
    - Is the amount of resistance that a single resistor
    would need in order to equal the overall effect of
    the collection of resistors that are present in the
    circuit.
    RESISTORS IN SERIES:
    Two resistances are connected in series if all
    the current from one resistor must flow through
    the second; there is no alternative route.
    Equivalent resistance:
    From conservation of I1 = I 2 = I
    charge:
    where I is the current through the combination.
    From conservation of V1 + V 2 = V
    energy:
    where V is the potential difference across both
    resistors.
    The two resistors can be replaced by a single
    resistor with the equivalent resistance

    For more than two resistors, Req = R1 + R2 + R3 + ...


    RESISTORS IN PARALLEL:
    - Two resistors are connected in parallel if they are
    joined at both ends such that the potential
    difference across both resistors is the same. The
    current splits, flows through the two resistors, then
    comes back together with no alternate path.
    Equivalent resistance:
    From
    conservation of I1 + I2 = I
    charge:
    From
    conservation of V1 = V2 = V
    energy:
    The two resistors can be replaced by a single
    resistor with the equivalent resistance Req:

    ELECTRIC POWER AND ENERGY
    Electric Power:
    - Represents the rate at which energy is
    converted from the electrical energy of the
    moving charges to some other form.
    - The SI unit of power is watt.
    Electric Energy:
    - Represents the presence and flow of an electric
    charge. The energy portion of electricity is
    found in a variety of phenomena such as static
    electricity, electromagnetic fields and lightning.
    - Consumption of electrical energy is measured
    by Watt x Hour (Wxh)
    * 1Wh = 3600 joule = 859.8 calorie
    ELECTRIC METER
    - An instrument that measures the amount of electric
    energy by a consumer.
    - The meter is calibrated in kilowatt hours.

    When the hand of one of the dials is between numbers, always take the
    smaller number. you cannot tell if a hand is past a number or not, simply
    look at the dial to the right. If it has passed zero, then the hand is
    pointing to the correct number. If the dial to the right has not passed
    zero, then use the next smaller number.
