Circuits Series and Parallel
Series Circuits
Example: A 6.00 Ω resistor and a 3.00 Ω resistor are connected in series with a 12.0 V battery. Determine the equivalent resistance, the total current in the circuit and the voltage drop across each resistor? What is the power delivered to the resistors by the battery?
Parallel
Example: Three resistors, 11 Ω, 7 Ω, and 20 Ω, are connected in parallel. If placed in a circuit with a 12 V battery, determine the equivalent resistance, the total circuit current, and the voltage drop across and current in each resistor.
