- Types of circuits: open; closed; series; parallel
- Basic electricity - a
quick reference guide, featuring a link to All About [Electric] Circuits
(an e-book). See also, Series and Parallel
Connections, featuring a clear, concise summary of the effect of the
type of circuit on voltage and amperage (current).
- Ohm's Law, an
equation that defines the mathematical interrelationship among potential
difference, current, and resistance.
- Ohm's
Law (Java applet): The current in a circuit is directly proportional
to the applied voltage (potential difference) and inversely proportional
to the resistance of the circuit.
- Calculation of
Ohm's Law: The Magic Triangle. See also, Ohm's Law, a manual
version of the "magic triangle" that is rich with practical advice.
