> Voltage is the electric potential difference, or the difference in electric potential between two points. It is measure in volts and the voltage symbol is V. > Current is the the rate of flow of electric charge past a point or region. It is measured in amps and the current symbol is I. > Resistance is the measure of an object’s opposition to the flow of current. It is measured in ohms and the resistance symbol is R. /\ / \ Ohms Law: V = IR / V \ This triangle represents that very equation: /______\ > V = IR / I|R \ > V/I = R /____|_____\ > V/R = I > Series Circuits: -> The way to calculate total resistance in a series circuit is to just add up all of the resistances in the circuit. -> Voltage drops in a series circuit. Calculate using Ohm’s Law. > Parallel Circuits: -> Total resistance in a parallel circuit is 1/((1/R1)+(1/R2)+(1/R3)+….(1/Rn)). -> Current drops in a parallel circuit. Calculate using Ohm’s Law. > Voltage Divider: -> A circuit that produces an output voltage that is a fraction of the input voltage. -> Voltage output of the divider = (Input voltage *R2)/(R1+R2)
