Resistor Troubleshooting - NCATT

Parallel Circuits ReviewParameterVoltageSeries CircuitThe sum of the voltage drops across theindividual loads is equal to the sourcevoltage.Parallel CircuitThe voltage across eachbranch is the same as thesource voltage.ResistanceThe total resistance is equal to the sumof the individual resistances.The total resistance is equalto the reciprocal of the sum ofthe reciprocals of theindividual resistances.CurrentThere is only one path for current to flow.The current at every point in the circuit isthe same.There is more than one pathfor current to flow.The total current is equal tothe sum of the branchcurrents.PowerThe total power consumed is equal to the sum of the powerconsumptions of the individual loads.28
