Circuit: A closed loop of electrical conductors connecting one end of a power source to the other.
Series Circuit: A circuit in which the current has to go through multiple resistors in a row.
Parallel Circuit: A circuit in which the current has multiple paths to go through.
Resistance: Some obstacle to a current that weakens, slows down, or reduces the electricity/current.
Measured in ohms. Variable: r/R.
Current: The flow of electrons/electricity from one end of the power source to the other. Measured in amperes. Variable: i/I.
Voltage: Push or pull on electricity. The drop of electricity across a resistor. Measured in volts. Variable: V.
Ohm's Law: Voltage = Resistance (I) x Resistance (R)
Kirchhoff's Laws:
Current Law: The sum of the currents going into a connection must equal the sum of the currents leaving the connection.
i1 = i2 + i3
Voltage Law: The sum of voltages around a circuit must equal to zero.
