  • 20.1: Overview
    An electrical circuit is an interconnection of electrical elements that has a closed loop giving a return path for the current.
  • 20.2: Resistors in Series and Parallel
    The total resistance in the circuit with resistors connected in series is equal to the sum of the individual resistances.
  • 20.3: Kirchhoff’s Rules
    Kirchhoff’s circuit laws are two equations that address the conservation of energy and charge in the context of electrical circuits.
  • 20.4: Voltmeters and Ammeters
    Voltmeters and ammeters are used to measure voltage and current, respectively.
  • 20.5: RC Circuits
    An RC circuit has a resistor and a capacitor and when connected to a DC voltage source, and the capacitor is charged exponentially in time.
