Resistors in Series and Parallel
By Rachel Wampler
2
Circuit forms one "loop"
Multiple devices in the circuit
Same current through each device
A break in the loop means no more flowing current
The resisters divide the voltage between them
Series Wiring
3
Voltage Divide Among Resistors

Multiple Choice
A 5.17 kΩ reistor and a 10.09 kΩ resistor are connected in series.
What is the equivalent resistance?
52.17 kΩ
15.26 kΩ
4.92 kΩ
1.95 kΩ

Multiple Choice
Bathroom vanity lights are occasionally wired in series. V=120V and you install three bulbs with R=8Ω and one bulb with R=12Ω. what is the current, voltage of each bulb, and the total power?
I = 3.33 A
V = 26.7 V , 40 V
P = 400 W
I = 5 A
V = 40 V, 60 V
P = 900 W
I = 10 A
V = 80 V, 120 V
P = 3600 W
I = 2880 A
V =23 kV, 35 kV
P = 299 MW
6
The same voltage across several devices
Houses are typically wired in parallel
A fault in a device has no effect on current
Resistors divide current

Multiple Choice
A 1000 Ω resistor and 101 Ω resistor are connected in parallel. What is the equivalent resistance? If they were connced to a 3 V battery, how much total current would the battery supply? How much current goes through each resistor?
Rp = 91.8 Ω
Itotal = 32.7 mA
I = 3.0mA, 29.7mA
Rp = 1105 Ω
Itotal = 32.7 mA
I = 3.0mA, 29.7mA
Rp = 91.8 Ω
Itotal = 32.7 mA
I = 5.0mA, 29.7mA
Rp = 1105 Ω
Itotal = 32.7 mA
I = 5.0mA, 29.7mA
10
Simplify any series portions of each branch
simplify the parallel circuity of the branches
If necessary simplify remaining series
