Series and Parallel Circuits and the Three Cardinal Rules for Solving Them Series Circuits Equivalent Resistance for a circuit is the defined as the single resistance that could replace several resistors (components that provide resistance). It can also be considered as the total resistance of the circuit. Kirchoff’s Voltage Law (Kirchoff’s Loop Rule) states that the total voltage around a closed loop must be zero. In simpler terms, it states that in a closed loop that the sum of the voltage rises must be equal to the sum of the voltage drops. Three Cardinal Rules for Circuits in a Series: 1. The total resistance in a series circuit (or equivalent resistance) is equal to the sum of all the separate resistances. OR 2. The current in all parts of a series circuit has the same magnitude. OR 3. Kirchoff’s Loop Rule (voltage law): the sum of all the separate drops in potential around a series circuit (closed loop) is equal to the potential rise of the battery (or power source). OR Example 1) Series Resistance A 6.00 Ω and a 4.00 Ω resistor are connected in series with a 12.0 V battery. We assume that the battery itself does not offer any resistance to the circuit. a. Draw a schematic diagram. b. Find the equivalent (total) resistance for this circuit. c. Find the current delivered to each resistor. d. Find the power dissipated in each resistor. e.
