Resisitors in Series

The total resistance in the circuit with resistors connected in series is equal to the sum of the individual resistances.

Thumbnail
Resistors in Parallel

The total resistance in a parallel circuit is equal to the sum of the inverse of each individual resistances.

Thumbnail
Combination Circuits

A combination circuit can be broken up into similar parts that are either series or parallel.

Charging a Battery: EMFs in Series and Parallel

When voltage sources are connected in series, their emfs and internal resistances are additive; in parallel, they stay the same.

EMF and Terminal Voltage

The output, or terminal voltage of a voltage source such as a battery, depends on its electromotive force and its internal resistance.
