Hi guys,
Their is something I don't completely understand regards to parrallel/series circuits.
We know that the resistance can be calculated as follows in series:-
Since they total voltage is the sum of the voltage components:-
V = V1 + V2 + V3;
IR = IR1 + IR2 + IR3;
R = R1 + R2 + R3;
In Parrallel circuits it can be calculated as follows:-
I = I1 + I2 + I3;
V/R = V/R1 + V/R2 + V/R3;
1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3;
What I don't understand is can we also use second formula(the one of parrallel circuits) to calculate in series,because we know that current don't accumulate(conserved),so the I starting before going into any resistor that I should be the one as one that comes out of last resistor.
So the in series then would be same equation as parallel circuit would that makes sense or did I miss something here?
Thanks.
