Ammeter and Voltmeter
electrons flow in a single path
series circuit
if one component of the circuit is broke, the whole circuit will NOT work
elctrons flow in two or more paths
parallel circuit
Formula
Series Circuit (Current)
IT = I1 = I2 = In
Current is EQUAL
Formula
Parallel Curcuit (Voltage)
VT = V1 + V2 + V3 + Vn
Voltage is EQUAL
Formula
Parallel Circuit (Resistance)
1\REq = (1/R1) + (1/R2) + (1/R3) + (1/Rn)
