Formula for total resistance in series

RT=R1+R2+R3+R_T = R_1 + R_2 + R_3 + \dots

Formula for total resistance in parallel

1RT=1R1+1R2+\frac{1}{R_T} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \dots

Power formula using VV and II

P=VIP = VI

Formula for energy transferred

E=VItE = VIt

Current in series circuits

Current is the same throughout the circuit

Voltage in series circuits

Total p.d. is sum of p.d.s across each component

Current in parallel circuits

Total current is sum of currents through each branch

Voltage in parallel circuits

P.d. across each branch is the same

Kirchhoff's First Law

Current in = current out at junction (charge conserved)

Kirchhoff's Second Law

Sum of e.m.f.s = sum of p.d.s in loop (energy conserved)
