In electronics, we often face with both serial and parallel circuits.
Series connection - is a diagram in which the components are connected in a daisy chain. This gives the current is only one way through which it will flow.
Parallel circuit - is a diagram in which the components are connected in parallel to each other. Thus, current will flow in several ways.
Frequently scheme is a mixture of serial and parallel connections.
series circuit
The current in the sequential circuits
The current in the series circuit is the same all the way. The same amount of current flows through all components. To find the current flow, use Ohm's law:
I = U / R
Resistance in series circuits
If you have a couple of resistors connected in series, it is very easy to find the total resistance. All you need to do is to find the sum of all resistance values:
Robsch. = R1 + R2 + R3
Capacity in successive chains
Capacitors connected in series, a little more difficult to calculate.
This is the formula for calculating the capacitance values:
parallel circuit
Calculation of resistance and capacitance in a parallel circuit fairly amusing.
For parallel resistance calculation using the same method used for consistent calculation of the capacitors. And vice versa.
The current in parallel circuits
The current in parallel circuits may be different from the path to the road. To find the current in your desired way, you are using Ohm's law:
I = U / R
Calculation of resistance in parallel circuits
To calculate the resistance in a parallel circuit, use the following formula:
Calculation of capacity in parallel circuits
You want to capacity in a parallel circuit, simply by taking the sum of all the capacitance values.
Stotal = C1 + C2 + C3
Everything is very simple! ;)
