Units to be measured and calculated VoltageVoltsV or E ResistanceOhmsR or Ω Current AmpsI or A

There can be voltage without current but not current without voltage. There can be resistance without current or voltage. Current may or may not be present in a circuit. Current is through out the circuit.

Voltage is measured “across” a device in question. It is measured between point of different potential.

Resistance is measured “across” a device in question. R or Ω Voltage sources must be removed.

Current must be measured by “opening” the circuit and putting the meter in line or in “series” so that the current passes through the meter. A or I

COLOR CODING FOR RESISTORS

Ground or Common Unless otherwise noted the common lead of the meter is connected to the ground or common point of the circuit.

Ground or common is usually associated with the negative terminal of a DC power supply.

2.8 Polarity of voltage drops page 60 The author is using electron flow. Electrons only flow in one directions.

Page 61 Polarity has nothing to do with Ohm’s Law: there are no negative voltages, currents, or resistance entered into any Ohm’s Law equations! There are other principles of electricity that do take polarity into account.

Chapter 5 SERIES AND PARALLEL CIRCUITS Page 130

5.2 Simple series circuits The first principle to understand about series circuits is that the amount of current is the same through any component in the circuit.

Page 134 The figure of 9 volts is a total quantity for the whole circuit, whereas the figures of 3k, 10k, and 5k 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
