Study Notes
- Ohm's law describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit
- Voltage (V) is measured in volts, current (I) in amps, and resistance (R) in ohms
- Voltage and current are directly proportional, while resistance and current are inversely related
- To find the current in a series circuit, use the formula V = IR and solve for I
- In a series circuit, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances
- In a parallel circuit, the voltage is the same across all branches, but the currents can vary
- In a parallel circuit, the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each branch
- Kirchhoff's laws (voltage and current) are used to analyze electrical circuits, ensuring the conservation of energy
- Kirchhoff's voltage law states that the sum of all voltages in a closed loop is zero
- Kirchhoff's current law states that the current entering a junction is equal to the current leaving it.
