  1. Equivalent Resistance Series and Parallel Circuits

  2. Two Kinds of circuits

  3. Circuit Diagrams • When drawing pictures of circuits, symbols are used as shorthand instead of pictures of components.

  4. Circuit Diagrams • Instead of a battery, the symbol is used. (Note: sometimes voltage is called emf or potential difference)

  5. Circuit Diagrams • Instead of a resistor, the symbol is used.

  6. Circuit Diagrams • Resistors and batteries will be labeled with their respective values most of the time. 10 Ω 10 Ω 9V

  7. Practice • Draw a series circuit with a 5V battery and two resistors (one 3Ω and the other 5Ω)

  8. Practice • Draw a series circuit with a 5V battery and two resistors (one 3Ω and the other 5Ω) 3Ω 5Ω 5V

  9. Practice • Draw a parallel circuit with a 12V battery and two resistors (one 6Ω and the other 2Ω)

  10. Practice • Draw a parallel circuit with a 12V battery and two resistors (one 6Ω and the other 2Ω) 6 Ω 2 Ω 12V

  11. Using Ohm’s Law (V=IR) • Ohm’s Law can be applied to A) the WHOLE circuit or B) each RESISTOR separately

  12. Ohm’s Law- WHOLE Circuit • What is Rtotal for the circuit? What is the current? 3Ω 5Ω 5V

  13. Ohm’s Law- WHOLE Circuit • Rtotal: • I: 3Ω 5Ω 5V

  14. Ohm’s Law- EACH Resistor • What is the voltage in each resistor? 3Ω 5Ω 5V

  15. Ohm’s Law- EACH Resistor • What do we know about the current in each resistor? 3Ω 5Ω 5V

  16. Ohm’s Law- EACH Resistor • What do we know about the current in each resistor? 3Ω 5Ω 5V

  17. Ohm’s Law- EACH Resistor • With that in mind we can solve for voltage. 3Ω resistor5Ωresistor 3Ω 5Ω 5V

  18. Ohm’s Law- EACH Resistor • With that in mind we can solve for voltage. 3Ω resistor5Ωresistor 3Ω 5Ω 5V

  19. Ohm’s Law- EACH Resistor • With that in mind we can solve for voltage. 3Ω resistor5Ωresistor 3Ω 5Ω 5V

  20. Ohm’s Law- EACH Resistor • Double check your answer to be sure. 3Ω resistor5Ωresistor 3Ω 5Ω 5V

  21. Summary- SERIES Circuits • We can write the ways we used Ohm’s Law as: Whole Resistor 1, Resistor 2, Resistor3, … Circuit

  23. Ohm’s Law for PARALLEL circuits

  24. PARALLEL (WHOLE circuit) • To apply Ohm’s Law (V=IR) to the WHOLE circuit: V=10V 2Ω 4Ω 10V

  25. PARALLEL (WHOLE circuit) • To apply Ohm’s Law (V=IR) to the WHOLE circuit: V=10V 2Ω 4Ω 10V

  26. PARALLEL (WHOLE circuit) • To apply Ohm’s Law (V=IR) to the WHOLE circuit: V=10V Rtotal=1.33Ω I=? 2Ω 4Ω 10V

  27. PARALLEL (WHOLE circuit) • To apply Ohm’s Law (V=IR) to the WHOLE circuit: V=10V Rtotal=1.33Ω I=? V=IR → 10V=I(1.33Ω) 2Ω 4Ω 10V

  28. PARALLEL (WHOLE circuit) • To apply Ohm’s Law (V=IR) to the WHOLE circuit: V=10V Rtotal=1.33Ω I=7.51A 2Ω 4Ω 10V

  29. PARALLEL (EACH resistor) • Now find the CURRENT in each resistor. 2Ω 4Ω 10V

  30. PARALLEL (EACH resistor) • What do we know about VOLTAGE in a PARALLEL circuit? 2Ω 4Ω 10V

  31. PARALLEL (EACH resistor) • The VOLTAGE is the same everywhere… V= 10Volts everywhere… 2Ω 4Ω 10V

  32. PARALLEL (EACH resistor) • Now use V=IR to solve for current at each resistor: 2Ω resistor4Ωresistor 2Ω 4Ω V= 10V V= 10V 10V

  34. Summary of Ohm’s Law • For PARALLEL circuits: • Vtotal=V1=V2=V3=… • Itotal=I1+I2+I3+… 2Ω 4Ω 10V
