Rs- total (equivalent) resistance in a series circuit (Ω) !
Ri- individual resistance (Ω)
The resistors must be in the same loop and have
the same current running through them, the current
is always the same for all resistors (the same
anywhere) !
!
The voltage and battery is divided (shared)
between the resistors, voltage is directly
proportional to the resistors (V to R)
Everything in parallel gets the
same voltage (stays the same
for all resistors) !
!
Current is divided or shared
among the resistors/devices !
!
Current is inversely
proportionate to resistance
Rp- total R for parallel circuit (Ω)!
Ri- individual resistance (Ω) !
!
Too little resistance, too much
current. More resistors, small the Rp
An interruption or
break anywhere
halts current
