Series and Parallel Circuits

To calculate a series and parallel circuit you need to apply Ohm's Law and the Power Triangle:

Remember:

To find the total resistance of a Series circuit you add up the resistant values.

Rt = R1 + R2 +R3

To find the total resistance of a parallel circuit apply the equation:

(1/R1) + (1/R2) + (1/R3) = ?

Rt = 1/?
