PHY 182 1st Edition Lecture 24Outline of Last Lecture I. Internal ResistanceII. Power in CircuitsIII. Kirchhoff's RulesOutline of Current Lecture I. Resistors in SeriesII. Resistors in ParallelCurrent LectureResistors in Series- Current is the same through each resistor.- Resistors are oriented in line with each other.- The voltage across each resistor is generally not the same, however depending on the resistance value, it might be.- The total or equivalent resistance is found by adding the value of each individual resistor.- The equivalent resistance will always be a larger value than any of the individual resistor values.Resistors in Parallel- Voltage across each resistor is the same.- Resistors are oriented parallel to each other, joined by a common wire at either end of the resistors.These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.- The current through each resistor is generally not the same, unless the resistor values are equal.- The equivalent resistance is found by adding the inverse of each resistor value then finding the inverse of that sum.- The equivalent resistance is always a smaller value than any of the individual resistor
