Conductor, insulator and semiconductor
• Resistance of a conductor is very low. It offers
very little resistance to charge flow.
• Resistance of insulator is very high. It
significantly resists charge flow.
• Resistance of semiconductor is between that of
conductor and insulator.
Current (A)
Electric current (I) is a flow of electric charge through a medium. This charge is
typically carried by moving electrons in a conductor such as wire, measure in
ampere.
What is the current of Meter 1
and Meter 2?
Currents
• Current is a fundamental variable
in electricity and electronics.
• It is represented by the symbol I.
• Current as a flow of electric
charge.
• The current flows from the
positive battery terminal, through
the external circuit, and returns to
the negative battery terminal.

• There must be a continuous path for the electrons to flow
from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of the
battery.
• In direct current (dc), the current direction and values are
fixed and do not vary with time.
• Current that varies with time is called alternating current
(ac).

Voltage (V)
Voltage (V) is electric potential between two terminals, measured in volt.
Measuring voltage
Voltage Behaviour
• Parallel voltage • Series voltage
Parallel voltage source will have
the same voltage like one source
but its capacity will multiplies.
Series voltage source will have the
same capacity like one source but
its voltage will multiplies.
Power (P)
Electric power (P) is the rate at which electric energy is transferred by an electric
circuit. The SI unit of power is the watt. When electric current flows in a circuit, it
can transfer energy to do mechanical or thermodynamic work. Measure as watts.
Resistance
• Electric resistance represented by R.
• The unit of electric resistance is ohm (Ω).
where R = resistance in ohms (Ω),
ρ = resistivity of electric material in ohm-meter (Ω m),
l = length of material in meter (m),
A = cross-sectional area in square meter (m2
).

Resistor (Ω)Resistors determine the flow of current in an electrical circuit. Where there is high
resistance in a circuit the flow of current is small, where the resistance is low the
flow of current is large. Resistance, voltage and current are connected in an
electrical circuit by Ohm’s Law.

• The circuit here has three resistors, R1, R2, and R3 and
two sources of emf, Vemf,1 and Vemf,2
• This circuit cannot be resolved into simple series or
parallel structures.
• To analyze this circuit, we need to assign currents
flowing through the resistors.
• We can choose the directions of these currents
arbitrarily.
Example - Kirchhoff’s Rules
• The circuit here has three resistors, R1, R2, and R3 and two sources
of emf, Vemf,1 and Vemf,2
• This circuit cannot be resolved into simple series or parallel
structures
• To analyze this circuit, we need to assign currents flowing through
the resistors.
• We can choose the directions of these currents arbitrarily.
Example - Kirchhoff’s Rules
• At junction b the incoming current must equal the
outgoing current
• At junction a we again equate the incoming
current and the outgoing current
• But this equation gives us the same information as
the previous equation!
• We need more information to determine the three
currents – 2 more independent equations
Example - Kirchhoff’s Laws
i2 = i1 + i3
i1 + i3 = i2
• To get the other equations we must apply
Kirchhoff’s Loop Rule.
• This circuit has three loops.
– Left
• R1, R2, Vemf,1
– Right
• R2, R3, Vemf,2
– Outer
• R1, R3, Vemf,1, Vemf,2
Example - Kirchhoff’s Laws
• Going around the left loop counterclockwise starting at
point b we get
• Going around the right loop clockwise starting at point b we
get
• Going around the outer loop
clockwise starting
at point b we get
• But this equation gives us no new information!
Example - Kirchhoff’s Laws
−i1R1 − Vemf ,1 − i2 R2 = 0 ⇒ i1R1 + Vemf ,1 + i2 R2 = 0
−i3R3 − Vemf ,2 − i2 R2 = 0 ⇒ i3R3 + Vemf ,2 + i2 R2 = 0
−i3R3 − Vemf ,2 + Vemf ,1 + i1R1 = 0
• We now have three equations
• And we have three unknowns i1, i2, and i3
• We can solve these three equations in a variety of
ways

i1 + i3 = i2 i1R1 + Vemf ,1 + i2 R2 = 0 i3R3 + Vemf ,2 + i2 R2 = 0

Series Circuit
A series circuit is one with all the loads in a row.
There is only ONE path for the electricity to flow. If
this circuit was a string of light bulbs, and one blew
out, the remaining bulbs would turn off.
UNDERSTANDING & CALCULATING
SERIES CIRCUITS BASIC RULES
• The same current flows through each part of a series
circuit.
• The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum
of individual resistances.
• Voltage applied to a series circuit is equal to the sum of
the individual voltage drops.
• The voltage drop across a resistor in a series circuit is
directly proportional to the size of the resistor.
• If the circuit is broken at any point, no current will flow.
"1. The same current flows through each part
of a series circuit."
• In a series circuit, the
amperage at any point in
the circuit is the same.
This will help in
calculating circuit values
using Ohm's Law.
• You will notice from the
diagram that 1 amp
continually flows through
the circuit. We will get to
the calculations in a
moment
"2. The total resistance of a series circuit is
equal to the sum of individual resistances."
• In a series circuit you will
need to calculate the total
resistance of the circuit in
order to figure out the
amperage. This is done by
adding up the individual
values of each component in
series.
In this example we have three
resistors. To calculate the total
resistance we use the formula:
RT = R1 + R2 + R3
Calculate the current
• Now with these two rules we can learn how to
calculate the amperage of a circuit.
Remember from Ohms Law that I = V / R. Now
we will modify this slightly and say I = V / R
total.
• Lets follow our example figure:
• RT = R1 + R2 + R3
• RT = 7 Ohms
• I = V / RT
• I = 12V / 7 Ohms
• I = 1.7 Amp
"Voltage Drops"
• Before we go any further let's define what a
"voltage drop" is. A voltage drop is the
amount the voltage lowers when crossing a
component from the negative side to the
positive side in a series circuit. If you
placed a multimeter across a resistor, the
voltage drop would be the amount of
voltage you are reading. This is pictured
with the red arrow in the diagram
"Voltage Drops"
• A battery is supplying 12 volts to a circuit of two
resistors; each having a value of 5 Ohms. The total
resistance.:
RT = R1 + R2 = 5 + 5 = 10 Ohms
• The current in the circuit
I = V / RT = 12V / 10Ω = 1.2 A
• The voltage drops across each resistor
is using Ohm's Law (V = I x R).
V1 = 1.2A x 5 Ω = 6 V
V2 = 1.2A x 5 Ω = 6V
"4. The voltage drop across a resistor in a
series circuit is directly proportional to the
size of the resistor."
• This is what we described in the Voltage
Drop section above.
• Voltage drop = Current X Resistor size.
"5. If the circuit is broken/open at any point,
no current will flow."
• The best way to illustrate this is with a string of
light bulbs. If one is burnt out, the whole thing
stops working.
Parallel Circuits
A parallel circuit is one that has two or more paths for the
electricity to flow, the loads are parallel to each other. If the
loads in this circuit were light bulbs and one blew out, there is
still current flowing to the others because they are still in a direct
path from the negative to positive terminals of the battery.
UNDERSTANDING & CALCULATING
PARALLEL CIRCUITS
• A Parallel circuit is one with several different paths for the
electricity to travel.
• It's like a river that has been divided up into smaller streams,
however, all the streams come back to the same point to
form the river once again.
• The total resistance of a Parallel Circuit is NOT equal to the
sum of the resistors (like in a series circuit). The total
resistance in a parallel circuit is always less than any of the
branch resistances. Adding more parallel resistances to the
paths causes the total resistance in the circuit to decrease. As
you add more and more branches to the circuit the total
current will increase because Ohm's Law states that the
lower the resistance, the higher the current.
BASIC RULES
• A Parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic
rules:
• A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow
through.
• Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel
circuit.
• The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the
total current that flows from the source.
• You can find total resistance in a Parallel circuit with the
following formula:
1/RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +...
RT is the Total resistance
• If one of the parallel paths is broken, current will continue
to flow in all the other paths.
1. "A parallel circuit has two or more
paths for current to flow through."
• Simply remember that PARALLEL means two paths up to
thousands of paths. The flow of electricity is divided between
each according to the resistance along each route.
2. "Voltage is the same across each
component of the parallel circuit."
• You may remember
from the last section
that the voltage drops
across a resistor in
series. Not so with a
parallel circuit. The
voltage will be the
same anywhere in the
circuit.
3. "The sum of the currents through each
path is equal to the total current that flows
from the source."
• If one path is drawing 1 amp
and the other is drawing 1 amp
then the total is 2 amps at the
source. If there are 4 branches
in this same 2 amp circuit, then
one path may draw 1/4A
(.25A), the next 1/4A (.25), the
next 1/2A (.5A) and the last
1A.
• Don't worry, the next rule will
show you how to figure this
out. Simply remember for now
that the branch currents must be
equal to the source current.
4. "You can find TOTAL RESISTANCE in
a Parallel circuit with the following
Example
Find the total resistance of the following circuit.
5. "If one of the parallel paths is broken, current will
continue to flow in all the other paths."
• The best way to illustrate this is also with a string
of light bulbs in parallel. If one is burnt out, the
others stay lit.
Series/parallel combination resistors circuit
A combination circuit is one that has a "combination" of series and
parallel paths for the electricity to flow. Its properties are a
combination of the two. In this example, the parallel section of the
circuit is like a sub-circuit and actually is part of an over-all series
circuit.
Combination Circuit
• The best advice in finding the values for a
combination circuit is to first break each
part of the circuit down into series and
parallel sections and follow those formulas.
Once that is complete, combine them for
your main calculations.
Example
Determine the total combination series-parallel circuit below.

  • 44. Series Circuit A series circuit is one with all the loads in a row. There is only ONE path for the electricity to flow. If this circuit was a string of light bulbs, and one blew out, the remaining bulbs would turn off.
  • 45. UNDERSTANDING & CALCULATING SERIES CIRCUITS BASIC RULES • The same current flows through each part of a series circuit. • The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of individual resistances. • Voltage applied to a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops. • The voltage drop across a resistor in a series circuit is directly proportional to the size of the resistor. • If the circuit is broken at any point, no current will flow.
  • 46. "1. The same current flows through each part of a series circuit." • In a series circuit, the amperage at any point in the circuit is the same. This will help in calculating circuit values using Ohm's Law. • You will notice from the diagram that 1 amp continually flows through the circuit. We will get to the calculations in a moment
  • 47. "2. The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of individual resistances." • In a series circuit you will need to calculate the total resistance of the circuit in order to figure out the amperage. This is done by adding up the individual values of each component in series. In this example we have three resistors. To calculate the total resistance we use the formula: RT = R1 + R2 + R3
  • 48. Calculate the current • Now with these two rules we can learn how to calculate the amperage of a circuit. Remember from Ohms Law that I = V / R. Now we will modify this slightly and say I = V / R total. • Lets follow our example figure: • RT = R1 + R2 + R3 • RT = 7 Ohms • I = V / RT • I = 12V / 7 Ohms • I = 1.7 Amp
  • 49. "Voltage Drops" • Before we go any further let's define what a "voltage drop" is. A voltage drop is the amount the voltage lowers when crossing a component from the negative side to the positive side in a series circuit. If you placed a multimeter across a resistor, the voltage drop would be the amount of voltage you are reading. This is pictured with the red arrow in the diagram
  • 50. "Voltage Drops" • A battery is supplying 12 volts to a circuit of two resistors; each having a value of 5 Ohms. The total resistance.: RT = R1 + R2 = 5 + 5 = 10 Ohms • The current in the circuit I = V / RT = 12V / 10Ω = 1.2 A • The voltage drops across each resistor is using Ohm's Law (V = I x R). V1 = 1.2A x 5 Ω = 6 V V2 = 1.2A x 5 Ω = 6V
  • 51. "4. The voltage drop across a resistor in a series circuit is directly proportional to the size of the resistor." • This is what we described in the Voltage Drop section above. • Voltage drop = Current X Resistor size.
  • 52. "5. If the circuit is broken/open at any point, no current will flow." • The best way to illustrate this is with a string of light bulbs. If one is burnt out, the whole thing stops working.
  • 53. Parallel Circuits A parallel circuit is one that has two or more paths for the electricity to flow, the loads are parallel to each other. If the loads in this circuit were light bulbs and one blew out, there is still current flowing to the others because they are still in a direct path from the negative to positive terminals of the battery.
  • 54. UNDERSTANDING & CALCULATING PARALLEL CIRCUITS • A Parallel circuit is one with several different paths for the electricity to travel. • It's like a river that has been divided up into smaller streams, however, all the streams come back to the same point to form the river once again. • The total resistance of a Parallel Circuit is NOT equal to the sum of the resistors (like in a series circuit). The total resistance in a parallel circuit is always less than any of the branch resistances. Adding more parallel resistances to the paths causes the total resistance in the circuit to decrease. As you add more and more branches to the circuit the total current will increase because Ohm's Law states that the lower the resistance, the higher the current.
  • 55. BASIC RULES • A Parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic rules: • A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. • Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. • The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source. • You can find total resistance in a Parallel circuit with the following formula: 1/RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +... RT is the Total resistance • If one of the parallel paths is broken, current will continue to flow in all the other paths.
  • 56. 1. "A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through." • Simply remember that PARALLEL means two paths up to thousands of paths. The flow of electricity is divided between each according to the resistance along each route.
  • 57. 2. "Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit." • You may remember from the last section that the voltage drops across a resistor in series. Not so with a parallel circuit. The voltage will be the same anywhere in the circuit.
  • 58. 3. "The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source." • If one path is drawing 1 amp and the other is drawing 1 amp then the total is 2 amps at the source. If there are 4 branches in this same 2 amp circuit, then one path may draw 1/4A (.25A), the next 1/4A (.25), the next 1/2A (.5A) and the last 1A. • Don't worry, the next rule will show you how to figure this out. Simply remember for now that the branch currents must be equal to the source current.
  • 59. 4. "You can find TOTAL RESISTANCE in a Parallel circuit with the following
  • 60. Example Find the total resistance of the following circuit.
  • 61. 5. "If one of the parallel paths is broken, current will continue to flow in all the other paths." • The best way to illustrate this is also with a string of light bulbs in parallel. If one is burnt out, the others stay lit.
  • 62. Series/parallel combination resistors circuit A combination circuit is one that has a "combination" of series and parallel paths for the electricity to flow. Its properties are a combination of the two. In this example, the parallel section of the circuit is like a sub-circuit and actually is part of an over-all series circuit.
  • 63. Combination Circuit • The best advice in finding the values for a combination circuit is to first break each part of the circuit down into series and parallel sections and follow those formulas. Once that is complete, combine them for your main calculations.
  • 64. Example Determine the total combination series-parallel circuit below.
