Q
Resistors in series
A
V = V(1) + V(2) + V(3), or IR = IR(1) + IR(2) + IR(3), or R = R(1) + R(2) + R(3)
1
Q
Ohm’s Law
A
V=IR
V: potential difference, volts
I: current, amperes
R: resistance, ohms
2
Q
Resistors in Parallel
A
1/R = 1/R(1) + et al
3
Q
Electrical Power
A
P=VI=V^2/R
P in watts
4
Q
Capacitor
A
Stores charge: 1 farad is 1 coulomb stored for a potential difference of 1 volt. Capacitors present latent voltage hazard.
