Today's Lecture (9/26): |
| Summary: |
- Just like with capacitors, resistor circuits
can often be simplified using the concept of equivelent resistors
for series and parallel connections.
- Since we add voltages for resistors in series,
we get the following formula for the equivalent resistance.
- Because the voltages are the same across parallel
resistors, we can find the parallel equivalent resistance.

Diversion-of-the-week: |
This week's diversion takes a page from
the Bizarre Stuff You
Can Make in Your Kitchen website and it's called the Wonderous
Glowing Pickle. Basically, if you plug a pickle into wall socket,
it glows! (Disclaimer: This is dangerous! If you don't know what you
are doing, you should probably just download the video of this trick!)
