Resistive Circuits • Resistors in series • Resistors in parallel • Voltage divider • Current divider • The bridge
Electrical resistance Resistor’s obey Ohm’s Law: V = I R The voltage “drop” across a resistor is linearly proportional to the current passing through the resistor
The bridge The bridge is “balanced” when the ammeter reads zero • If ammeter current = 0, I1 = I3 and I2 = Ix • The points A and B are at the same potential • So I3R3 = IxRx and I1R1 = I2R2
