V = Voltage = A potential difference that motivates
charge to flow. The pump. (units: V = J/C)
I = current = The amount of charge that flows per
unit time. (units: C/s = Amps A)
R = Resistance = A property of the material that
resists the flow of current. (units: Ohms Ω = V/A)

Let’s learn how these three quantities are related
by imaging different Voltages with a constant
Resistance.

Let’s come up with an equation for the current (I)
that related to the Voltage (V) and Resistance (R):

When we talk about electricity we often refer to the
quantity power.
Power is the rate at which energy is used. Units: (J/s =Watt)
Let’s define power as it relates to an electrical circuit.
The power is large when a large voltage (V) is used to
produce a large current flow (I).

Example 1: A 60W/120V light bulb is connected to a 120V power supply.
What is the resistance of the light bulb and the current flowing in the circuit?

R  240
The same 60W/120V light bulb is connected to a 240V power supply. What will
be different from the calculations above?
Since resistance is a property of the light bulb it will be the same as above,
but the current and power of the bulb will be greater.

Combined Circuits
• Map the currents. Currents divide at junctions
• Find the total resistance. Start with resistors in series.
• Resistors in series have the same current flowing
through them.
• Resistors in parallel have the same voltage (potential
difference)
• Use Ohm’s law to find the main current.
• Use the loop rule to find the voltage (potential difference)
across individual resistors.
• Use proportional thinking to find the current flowing
through individual resistors.
• Complete the VIP chart.
• Check: The power of individual resistors should always
add to the power of the battery.
