Question 1

How do you find the total resistance in a series circuit?

Answer 1

Find the sum of all the resistances in the circuit

Question 2

How do you find the total resistance in a parallel circuit using the reciprocal formula?

Answer 2

1 over, 1 over each resistances in parallel

Question 3

How do you find the total resistance in a parallel circuit using the product-over-sum formula?

Answer 3

When there are only two resistors: (R1 x R2) / (R1 + R2)

Question 4

How do you find the total resistance in a parallel circuit using the equal resistances formula?

Answer 4

When all resistors are equal: Resistance of one resistor / total number of resistors

Question 5

How do you reduce a complex circuit?

Answer 5

Find the resistance of a parallel combination and simplify them to create a series circuit

Question 6

What is Kirchhoff’s current law?

Answer 6

The total amount of current flowing through a parallel circuit is equal to the sum of the amount of current flowing through each current path.

Question 7

What is Kirchhoff’s voltage law?

Answer 7

The statement that the sum of all the voltage drops in a circuit is equal to the source voltage of the circuit
