PHY 114 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Resistor, Circuit Diagram, Microsoft Onenote
Document Summary
***didn"t take notes on lecture 6 in onenote because it was prior to me knowing about the notetaker position, so i didn"t feel compelled to take them since i didn"t need them, i"m so sorry! But i do give a pseudo review in the section below*** Then add the parallel capacitors or series resistors to the added series or parallel respectively. So if you had c1, then c2 and c3 in parallel with each other, you would first add c2 and c3 using the proper method for capacitors in parallel. Then you would add the answer from the two parallel to c1 using the method for adding capacitors in a series to get the equivalent capacitor. It"s like putting parentheses around c2 and c3 in an equation. Then you can use the same method above for resistors in series. Because resistors and capacitors have the exact opposite functions.
