  2. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    Since electrical conductance is reciprocal to resistance, the expression for total conductance of a parallel circuit of resistors is simply: = = = + + +. The relations for total conductance and resistance stand in a complementary relationship: the expression for a series connection of resistances is the same as for parallel connection of ...

  3. Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and...

    Also called chordal or DC resistance This corresponds to the usual definition of resistance; the voltage divided by the current R s t a t i c = V I. {\displaystyle R_{\mathrm {static} }={V \over I}.} It is the slope of the line (chord) from the origin through the point on the curve. Static resistance determines the power dissipation in an electrical component. Points on the current–voltage ...

  4. Parallel (operator) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_(operator)

    Graphical interpretation of the parallel operator with =.. The parallel operator ‖ (pronounced "parallel", [1] following the parallel lines notation from geometry; [2] [3] also known as reduced sum, parallel sum or parallel addition) is a binary operation which is used as a shorthand in electrical engineering, [4] [5] [6] [nb 1] but is also used in kinetics, fluid mechanics and financial ...

  5. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    Most metals have electrical resistance. In simpler models (non quantum mechanical models) this can be explained by replacing electrons and the crystal lattice by a wave-like structure. When the electron wave travels through the lattice, the waves interfere, which causes resistance. The more regular the lattice is, the less disturbance happens ...

  6. Current divider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_divider

    A general formula for the current I X in a resistor R X that is in parallel with a combination of other resistors of total resistance R T (see Figure 1) is [1] = +, where I T is the total current entering the combined network of R X in parallel with R T.

  7. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    Ohm's law, in the form above, is an extremely useful equation in the field of electrical/electronic engineering because it describes how voltage, current and resistance are interrelated on a "macroscopic" level, that is, commonly, as circuit elements in an electrical circuit.

  8. Norton's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton's_theorem

    The Norton resistance R no is found by calculating the output voltage V o produced at A and B with no resistance or load connected to, then R no = V o / I no; equivalently, this is the resistance between the terminals with all (independent) voltage sources short-circuited and independent current sources open-circuited (i.e., each independent ...

  9. Millman's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millman's_theorem

    In electrical engineering, Millman's theorem [1] (or the parallel generator theorem) is a method to simplify the solution of a circuit. Specifically, Millman's theorem is used to compute the voltage at the ends of a circuit made up of only branches in parallel .
