2.4 Series Resistors and Voltage Division (1)
• Series: Two or more elements are in series if they are cascaded or connected sequentially and consequently carry the same current.
• The equivalent resistance of any number of resistors connected in a series is the sum of the individual resistances.
• The voltage divider can be expressed as

Series Resistors and Voltage Division
• Principle of Voltage Division: For resistors in series, the source voltage v is divided among the resistors in direct proportion to their resistances.
• Voltage Divider: A circuit (or branch) consisting of resistors in series.

2.5 Parallel Resistors and Current Division (1)
• Parallel: Two or more elements are in parallel if they are connected to the same two nodes and consequently have the same voltage across them.
• The equivalent resistance of a circuit with N resistors in parallel is:
• The total current i is shared by the resistors in inverse proportion to their resistances. The current divider can be expressed as:

Parallel Resistors and Current Division
• The equivalent conductance of resistors connected in parallel is the sum of their individual conductances.
• Principle of Current Division: For resistors in parallel, the total current i is shared by the resistors in inverse proportions to their resistances. Note Larger current flows through the smaller resistance.
• Current Divider: A circuit (or branch) consisting of resistors in parallel
