Principles of Electricity

More about Coils and Caps

Remember series and parallel circuits? I know it's been quite a while since we studied them, but it would do good to review a bit before we get too entangled in other stuff.

    Resistors
    • Added in Series (R1+R2+R3)
    • Reciprocate the Reciprocal in Parallel

       R1       R2
    Coils
    • Added in Series (L1+L2+L3)
    • Reciprocate the Reciprocal in Parallel

    Capacitors:
      Remember.... the capacitor works OPPOSITE the coil.
