Measure current through resistances in series-parallel circuits requires current-measuring skills used in both series and parallel circuits.

Measuring voltage drops across resistances in series-parallel circuits requires an understanding of both series and parallel circuit behavior. Learn more with this tutorial.

Use the series and parallel resistance formulas to determine the total resistances of the parts. Then, use Ohm's Law to calculate the voltage drops across each part.

Use resistance formulas to determine the total resistances of the series and parallel parts. Then, use Ohm's Law to calculate the voltage drops across and currents through each part.

Learners investigate circuits. Some topics examined are a series circuit, parallel circuit, and Joule?s law. The resource includes practice problems with solutions and a chapter quiz.
