Concept Review
‣ Current
‣ Voltage
3
Concept Review - Conductors
‣ Conductor resistance is American Wire Gage
4
Concept Review - Resistance
‣
‣
Depends Primarily on
‣

‣
Length
Cross-sectional area
Type of Material
Conductors DO have Resistance
5
Concept Review - Resistor
‣ Limit Current / Divide Voltage / Convert Energy
‣ Ohms & Watts
6
Series DC Circuits
‣ Current same / Voltage divided between Resistors
7
Series DC Circuits - Resistance
8
Kirchhoffs Voltage Law

9
Voltage Dividers
10
Parallel DC Circuits
‣ Voltage in each parallel branch is equal
11
Kirchhoff’s Current Law
• For each Junction: Current in = Current out
12
Resistance in Parallel
13
Resistance in Parallel - Rules
‣ RT always < value of smallest resistor
‣ If largest resistor many times smaller resistor
‣ RT approaches value of smallest resistor.
‣ If two resistors equal
‣ RT is half original resistance

26
Measuring Resistance
‣ Voltage impacts on reading - Nonsense Reading
‣ Highest to Lowest - Lowest most accurate
27
Ohmmeter Uses
‣ Check if EOL is Capacitor - Short then Charge
‣ Determine device polarity
