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.
9
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

Voltage Divider Rule (VDR) The voltage across a resistor in a series circuit is equal to the value of that resistor divided by the total resistance times the total applied voltage.
15
R # / R T * V s = V R# R1/ RT x Vs = VR1 R2/ RT x Vs = VR2 R3/ RT x Vs = VR3

Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) The algebraic sum of the potential rises and drops around a closed path (or closed loop) is zero. Textbook page 179

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
28
Resistance is measured “across” a device in question. R or Ω Voltage sources must be removed.

Anode: the positive terminal. Cathode: the negative terminal.

Series DC Voltage Sources The connection of batteries in series to obtain a higher voltage is common in much of today’s portable electronic equipment.

Batteries have a low internal resistance, connecting batteries of different voltages in parallel can cause a current to flow from the higher voltage battery into the lower voltage battery. The large current could potentially damage one or both batteries.

R 1 / R T x Vs = V R1 V out = V R2
