resistance
relates to the amount of charge flowing through a resistor
current
Resistors are connected in ____ if they are connected in a single path
series
Equivalent resistance
The equivalent resistance of series resistors is the sum of all of the individual resistors.
When it comes to parallel resistors, must use the flipped formula.
_____ each carry the same current, which is equal to the total current through the circuit.
Series resistors
Resistors are connected in parallel if
the path for current divides, then comes immediately back together
