    Study Notes

    Ohm's Law

    • 'E' in Ohm's law formula stands for Electromotive force
    • Units for 'E' are volts
    • If resistance increases, current decreases.
    • If voltage increases, current increases.

    Circuit Types

    • Series Circuit: Current is the same through each resistor.
    • Series Circuit: Voltage drop across each resistor adds up to the source voltage.
    • Parallel Circuit: Voltage drop across each resistor is the same as the source voltage.
    • Parallel Circuit: Current flow through each resistor depends on resistance.
    • Power Law: If power increases, voltage increases if amperage stays the same.
