Energy #2

This week, we expanded on measuring various resistors in a complex circuit known to our period 4 as the “Inception Circuit.” It’s called this because it contains both a parallel and a series circuit, which sometimes gets very confusing because of the separation of various voltages and currents that flow through each resistor. We also learned how to distinguish between the two and learned how to calculate the voltage drops through each resistor as voltage, the current of the battery and its resistors in amps, the Req (total resistance), and the resistance of each resistor measured in ohms. Above is an example of an Inception Circuit.
