Electric Current - Parallel and Series equations

[unilliterate]

Hello all. I was wondering if these equations would be correct... thank you.

Series
Voltage(total) = V1+V2+V3...
Current(total) = I1 = I2 = I3...
Resistor(total) = R1+R2+R3...

Parallel
Voltage(total) = V1 = V2 = V3
Current(total) = I1 = I2 = I3
Resistor(total) = R1+R2+R3...

What does the "*" mean in your equations? i.e., what is "Voltage*total"?

If you want a clear answer, you need to state a clear question...

Parallel

Current(total) = I1 + I2 + I3
Resistor(total) = 1/(1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3)

Hello, thank you for your question. The equations you have provided for series and parallel circuits are correct. In series circuits, the voltage across each resistor adds up to the total voltage, while the current remains the same throughout the circuit. In parallel circuits, the voltage across each resistor is the same, while the current is divided among the branches. The total resistance in a parallel circuit is less than the smallest individual resistor. These equations are fundamental in understanding and analyzing circuit behavior and can be used to calculate various quantities, such as power and resistance. It is important to note that these equations are valid for ideal circuit components and may differ slightly in real-world scenarios. I hope this helps clarify your understanding of electric current in series and parallel circuits.
