Single Loop Circuit
• The same current flows through each
element of the circuit---the elements are in
series.
• We will consider circuits consisting of
voltage sources and resistors.

Solve for I
• The same current I flows through the source
and each light bulb-how do you know this?
• In terms of I, what is the voltage across
each resistor? Make sure you get the
polarity right!
• To solve for I, apply KVL around the loop.

Some Comments
• We can solve for the voltage across each
light bulb:
V = IR = (10.5mA)(228W) = 2.4V
• This circuit has one source and several
resistors. The current is
Source voltage/Sum of resistances
(Recall that series resistances sum)

In General: Single Loop
• The current i(t) is:
 VSi sum of voltage sources
i (t ) 

 Rj
sum of resistances
• This approach works for any single loop
circuit with voltage sources and resistors.
• Resistors in series

Source voltage(s) are divided between the
resistors in direct proportion to their

Equivalent Resistance
If we wish to replace the two parallel resistors
with a single resistor whose voltage-current
relationship is the same, the equivalent
resistor has a value of:
R1 R2
Req 
R1  R2
Definition: Parallel - the elements share the
same two end nodes

• This is the current divider formula.
• It tells us how to divide the current through
parallel resistors.

three or more parallel resistors.

• For 2 parallel resistors, it reduces to a simple
form.
• Note this equation’s similarity to the voltage

Multiple Current Sources
• We find an equivalent current source by
algebraically summing current sources.
• As before, we find an equivalent resistance.
• We find V as equivalent I times equivalent
R.
• We then find any necessary currents using
Ohm’s law.
