Study Notes

Electrical Circuits

Charge indicates electron deficiency (positive) or excess (negative)
Current (amps) represents number of electrons per unit time
Voltage (volts) pushes current, hindering electron flow
Resistance (ohms) opposes current flow

Parallel vs Series Circuits

Parallel: Each component has its own current path. All components share the same voltage.
Series: Components share one current path. Voltage is split proportional to resistance.

Calculations

Parallel circuit calculation: 1/R_T = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + ...
Series circuit calculation: R_T = R₁ + R₂ + ...
Ohm's Law: Voltage is directly proportional to current. V = I × R.
Resistor values can be mathematically derived from
an equation using Ohm's Law.

Graphing

Voltage vs. Current graphs for a resistor show a straight line, indicating direct proportion.
A graph for a light bulb (non-linear) shows a non-proportional relationship between voltage and current.
