Ohm’s Law in Series and Parallel Circuits (Grade 11 NSC Matric Physical Sciences): Flashcards

Only one path for current

Multiple paths for current

$R_s = R_1 + R_2 + R_3 + ...$

$\frac{1}{R_p} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + ...$

Same throughout all components

Adds up across all components

Same across all components

Adds up through all branches

Always smaller than smallest individual resistor

$V = I \times R$
