# Ohms Law
Solve for voltage:
$\displaystyle V = \frac{I}{R}$
*Solve for resistance:*
$R = \frac{V}{I}$
_Solve for current_
$$
\begin{flalign}
I & = \frac{V}{R} &
\end{flalign}
$$
# Resistors in Series
$R = R1 + R2 + R3 ...$
# Resistors in Parallel
$$
\begin{flalign}
&\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R1} + \frac{1}{R2} + \frac{1}{R3} ... &\\
\\
&\textit{For two resistors in parallel:} &\\
\\
&R = \frac{R1 * R2}{R1 + R2} &\\\
\end{flalign}
$$
***Tip:***
If resistors of the same value are in parallel the total resistance is a single resistor divided by the amount if resistors.
## Thevenins Theorem
States that it is possible to simplify any linear circuit, no matter how complex, to an equivalent circuit with just a single voltage source and series resistance connected to a load.
# Kirchhoff's Law
## Conservation of Charge (First Law)
All current entering a node must also leave that node
$$
\begin{flalign}
\sum{I_{IN}} = \sum{I_{OUT}}&&
\end{flalign}
$$
**Example:**
![](./assets/kirchhoffs-law-01.svg)
For this circuit kirchhoffs law states that:
$\displaystyle i1 = i2 + i3 + i4$
## Conservation of Energy (Second Law)
All the potential differences around the loop must sum to zero.
$\displaystyle \sum{V} = 0$
## Capacitors in Series
$\displaystyle \frac{1}{C_{t}} = \frac{1}{C_{1}}+\frac{1}{C_{2}}+\frac{1}{C_{3}} ...$
### Impedance in a Circuit
$$
\begin{flalign}
&Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X^2} &\\\
\\
&X = X_{L} - X_{C} \\
\end{flalign}
