Chapter 5 will be next Subjects in blue not yet needed 5.1 What are ”series” and ”parallel” circuits? Simple series circuits Simple parallel circuits Conductance Power calculations Correct use of Ohm’s Law Component failure analysis Building simple resistor circuits
5.2 Simple series circuits The current is the same through any component in a series circuit.
Page 134 The values of 3k, 10k, and 5k ohms are individual quantities for individual resistors.
Calculating I total by calculating R total first. R total = R1 + R2 + R3 R total = 3 kΩ + 10 kΩ + 5 kΩ R total = 18 kΩ

V S = 12V V R1 = 8V V R2 = 4V I T =.008A
Vs= 12V I T =.008A P T =.008 x 12 =.096 = 96mW P R1 =.008 x 8 =.064 = 64mW P R2 =.008 x 4 =.032 = 32mW
R # / R T * V s = V R# R1/ RT x Vs = VR1 R2/ RT x Vs = VR2 R3/ RT x Vs = VR3
R T = 10 Ω
V S = 12V V R1 = 8V V R2 = 4V Voltage divider rule.
Resistance is measured “across” a device in question. R or Ω Voltage sources must be removed.

10V /.005A = 2000Ω 4V /.002A = 2000Ω 8V – 6V /.004A -.003A = 2V /.001A = 2000Ω
Lab / Experiment 3 page 41 By finding the reciprocal of the resistance, we have a measure of how well the material conducts electricity. The quantity is called conductance, has the symbol G, and is measured in siemens.
