  2. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    Since electrical conductance is reciprocal to resistance, the expression for total conductance of a parallel circuit of resistors is simply: = = = + + +. The relations for total conductance and resistance stand in a complementary relationship: the expression for a series connection of resistances is the same as for parallel connection of ...

  3. Voltage ladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_ladder

    A voltage drop occurs across each resistor in the network causing each successive "rung" of the ladder (each node of the circuit) to have a higher voltage than the previous one. Since the ladder is a series circuit, the current is the same throughout, and is given by the total voltage divided by the total series resistance (V/R eq).

  4. Equivalent series resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_series_resistance

    The DC wire resistance is an important parameter in transformer and general inductor design because it contributes to the impedance of the component, and current flowing through that resistance is dissipated as waste heat, and energy is lost from the circuit. It can be modeled as a resistor in series with the inductor, often leading to the DC ...

  5. Thermal conductance and resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductance_and...

    The SI unit of absolute thermal resistance is kelvins per watt (K/W) or the equivalent degrees Celsius per watt (°C/W) – the two are the same since the intervals are equal: ΔT = 1 K = 1 °C. The thermal resistance of materials is of great interest to electronic engineers because most electrical components generate heat and need to be cooled.

  6. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    Series RL, parallel C circuit with resistance in series with the inductor is the standard model for a self-resonant inductor. A series resistor with the inductor in a parallel LC circuit as shown in Figure 4 is a topology commonly encountered where there is a need to take into account the resistance of the coil winding and its self-capacitance.

  7. Output impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_impedance

    is the total resistance of the circuit is the total current supplied by the battery. Internal resistance varies with the age of a battery, but for most commercial batteries the internal resistance is on the order of 1 ohm.

  8. Current divider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_divider

    Figure 1: Schematic of an electrical circuit illustrating current division. Notation R T refers to the total resistance of the circuit to the right of resistor R X.. In electronics, a current divider is a simple linear circuit that produces an output current (I X) that is a fraction of its input current (I T).

    The star-to-delta and series-resistor transformations are special cases of the general resistor network node elimination algorithm. Any node connected by N resistors (R 1 … R N) to nodes 1 … N can be replaced by () resistors interconnecting the remaining N nodes. The resistance between any two nodes x, y is given by:
