Power in Series and Parallel Circuits Power is a measure of the rate of work. Per the physics law of conservation of energy, the power dissipated in the circuit must equal the total power applied by the source(s). Therefore, an interesting rule for total circuit power versus individual compo...
This tool will calculate the power dissipation of series or parallel resistor circuits given the input voltage and the resistance values.
Understanding how to calculate total resistance, current, and voltage in series and parallel circuits is fundamental in electronics. These calculations are based on Ohm’s Law, which states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two...
