Common Electrical

Symbols
- are small drawings or pictograms
used to represent various
electrical devices in a diagram or
plan of an electrical circuit.
Types of Electrical Circuit
Series Circuit
 Is a circuit in which lamps/ loads are
arranged in a chain, so that the
current has only one path to take.
 The current is the same through each
load.
 Voltage drops add to equal total
voltage.
 All components share the same (equal)
current.
 Resistances add to equal total
resistance.
How to solve for the total Voltage,
current and resistance.
Parallel Circuits
 Is a circuit in which lamps/load
are connected across the wires.
 All components share the same
(equal) voltage.
 Branch currents add to equal total
current.
 Resistances diminish to equal
total resistance.
How to solve for the total
Voltage, current and resistance.

Resistance:
Series-parallel Circuit

 Is a combination of both series


and parallel.
Ohm’s
Law
Georg Simon Ohms –
German physicist who
discovered the law,
named after him, “The
Current is directly
proportional to it’s
voltage and indirectly
proportional to it’s
resistance”.
