Ohm's Law I = E/R
E=IxR
R = E/I
The above formulas will be used when describing electric and electronic circuits. Three types of electrical circuits will be discussed.
P
•
Series Circuits - Current can flow in only one path.
•
Parallel Circuits - Current can flow in more than one path.
•
Series-Parallel Circuits - Has both series and parallel paths for current to flow.
Given two known in any electrical or electronic circuit, the unknown can be calculated. This slide shows an example of solving an unknown by placing a finger over the unknown and then performing the mathematical equation as shown. The Ohm's Law circle is a memory aid to help solve the equation for either voltage, current or resistance.

Series Circuits Series circuits may have several resistors (loads) connected to a voltage source. The important point to demonstrate when explaining series circuits is current flow which has only one path, and as such, the current flowing in the circuit passes through all resistances equally. Series circuits have the following features: •
The current through each resistor is the same.
• The voltage drop across each resistor will be different if the resistance values are different. •
P
The sum of all the voltage drops equal the source voltage.

Total circuit resistance = the sum of all the resistors or 8 + 24 + 16 = 48Ω Source voltage = the sum of the two batteries (connected in series) or 12 + 12 = 24V Current flow = source voltage divided by total resistance or 24 ÷ 48 = 500 mA or 0.5 amps
• Voltage drop across each resistor is the same • Current flow through each resistor is different if the resistor values are different • The sum of the separate currents equals the total current flow in the circuit
Parallel Circuits In parallel circuits, the voltage drop across each resistor is equal to the potential of the current source since there is more than one path for current to flow through each resistor. Parallel circuits have the following features: •
The voltage drop across each resistor (load) is the same.
•
The current through each resistor will be different if the resistance are different.
• The sum of the separate currents equals the total current in the circuit.

Voltage drop each resistor is the same as source voltage (24V).
• Total current flow is the sum of the separate currents (each path), not enough information to solve individual current flows without using Ohm's Law to solve other elements of the circuit. •
Solve the current flow through each load by using Ohm's Law. V1 = source voltage (24V) R1 = 3 Ω A1 = E1 ÷ R1 = 24 ÷ 3 = 8 (A1 = 8 amps) V2 = source voltage (24V) R2 = 6 Ω A2 = E2 ÷ R2 = 24 ÷ 6 = 4 (A2 = 4 amps)
