INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Parallel Circuits

We have previously seen how all of the current ( I ) within a series circuit will pass through each resistor ( R ) situated within it. The sum of the energy drops that a coulomb ( C ) of charge loses as it traverses a circuit is equal to the voltage ( V )Continue reading INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Parallel Circuits

ELECTRICITY: Kirchhoff’s Rules and Negative Current Values

Voltage, where V = IR, is the product of the current ( I ) of Amperes in an electrical circuit in units of coulombs per second ( q/s ), and resistance ( R ) in Ohms. Likewise, voltage is defined as the amount of energy in Joules ( J ) a coulomb of charge carriesContinue reading “ELECTRICITY: Kirchhoff’s Rules and Negative Current Values”
