Simple Circuit: Ohm’s Law

• V=I.R
• P=V.I = I2 . R

V: voltage (Volts)
I: current (Amperes)
R: resistance (Ohms)
P: power (Watts)

Resistors in Series
• Current is the same through every resistor.
• Total voltage is the sum of the voltages across resistors.
• Total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances.

Resistors in Parallel
• Voltage is the same across every resistor.
• Total current is the sum of the currents flowing through
every resistor.
• Total resistance is the inverse of the sum of the inverse of
individual resistances.

Capacitors

• Store electric charge. Consist of two conducting

objects placed near one another with a dielectric
material in between them.

Capacitors in Series
• Total voltage is the sum of
the individual voltages
across every capacitor.

• Total capacitance is the

inverse of the sum of the
inverse of individual
capacitances.

• Current will flow until

capacitors are charged.
