 BRIEF INTRODUCTION:

Electric circuit measurement has three parameters that needs to be

considered. Voltage, current, and resistance.

Total Voltage
Voltage, also known as Electromotive Force, is a quantitative expression
of the potential difference in charge between two points in an electrical field.
It is the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged
electrons (current) through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such
as illuminating a light, for electricity to flow, there should be something to
push the electrons along. A battery or power outlet creates this electromotive
force which induces current in a circuit.
In a series circuit, the total voltage is equal to the sum of the individual
voltage drops. This simply means that the voltage drops should add up to the
voltage coming from the voltage source.
Therefore, the formula to measure the total voltage in a series
connection is:
VT = V1 + V2 + V3…
Voltage in a parallel circuit is constant throughout the whole circuit
because there are two or more paths for the charge to flow through.
Therefore, to measure the total voltage of a parallel connection is:
VT = V1 = V2 = V3…

Voltage Drop
Voltage drop is defined as the amount of voltage loss that occurs
through all or part of a circuit due to impedance. It is the decrease of
electrical potential along the path of a current flowing in an electrical circuit.
Voltage drops in the internal resistance of the source, across conductors,
across contacts, and across connectors are undesirable because some of the
energy supplied is dissipated. Excessive voltage drops in a circuit can cause
lights to flicker or burn dimly, heaters to heat poorly, and motors to run
hotter than normal and burn out. This condition causes the load to work
harder with less voltage pushing the current.
Current in Series and Parallel Connection
An electric current is a flow of electric charge, in electric circuits this is
often carried by moving electrons in a conductor. It is measured as the net
rate of flow of electric charge past a region.
Current in a series circuit has only one path to flow through, this means
that the current flowing through each load is the same.
Therefore, measuring the current in a series connection uses the
formula:
IT = I1 = I2 = I3…
A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through, so
current in a parallel circuit passes through each load. Then total current in a
parallel circuit is equal to the sum of the currents in each load.
To simplify, the measurement formula to get the total current in a
parallel connection is:
IT + I1 + I2 + I3…

Resistance in Series and Parallel Connection

Resistance is an electrical quantity that measures how the device or
material reduces the electric current flow through it.

The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the

individual resistance of each load. Therefore, the formula is:
RT + R1 + R2 + R3…

Determine every resistance of each load, the total resistance in a

parallel circuit should be less than the smallest resistance from each load.
Measure the total resistance of a parallel connection using the formula:

what type of circuit or connection you are dealing with. To determine the
type of circuit or connection is necessary.
