Types of Circuits  Series Circuit: All components in a row (no choices)  Parallel Circuit: Circuit has choices on the path

Characteristics of Series Circuits  V source = V 1 + V 2 + V 3 + …  R total = R 1 + R 2 + R 3 + …  I total = I 1 = I 2 = I 3 = …

Characteristics of Series Circuits  I total = I 1 + I 2 + I 3 + …  V source = V 1 = V 2 = V 3 = …  (1/R total )= (1/R 1 ) + (1/R 2 ) + (1/R 3 ) +…
