Resistors Arrangement
Resistors and Resistance
Resistors can be connected either in:
Series Parallel
Resistors in Series
Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3
Resistors in Parallel
I1
R1
I2
R2
1 1 1 R 1R 2
Then = + , Hence R total =
R total R1 R2 R1 +R2

Answer:
Apart from the lamp that
was being removed, the
rest of the lamp will
continue to light up.

Part 3 :
P.D/Voltage in Series
& Parallel Circuits
Learning Objectives
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:
I V2 V3 V4
L1 L2 L3
V1= V2 + V3 + V4
P.D. in Series Circuits
The sum of the p.d across individual
components in a series circuit, is equal to
the p.d across the whole circuit.
V1 = V2 = V3 I V2
