Series and parallel combination resistors
– Consider Problem-Solving Strategy 26.1.
– Follow Example 26.1 guided by Figure 26.3 below.
– Follow Example 26.2.
Kirchoff’s Rules I—junctions
• The algebraic sum of the currents into any junction is zero.
Kirchhoff’s Laws
Kirchhoff’s Current Law
Proof
Charge can’t build up at the junction.

Kirchoff’s Rules II—loops
• The algebraic sum of the potential differences in any loop,
including those associated with emfs and those of resistive
elements, must equal zero.

D’Arsonval’s galvanometer
• We’ll call it simply “meter” henceforth.
• The meter is a coil of wire mounted next to a permanent
magnet. Any current passing through the coil will induce
magnetism in the coil. The interaction of the new
electromagnetism and the permanent magnet will move the
meter indicator mounted to the coil.
The Ammeter and Voltmeter
• The ammeter (sometimes prefixed with milli or micro because
the currents to be measured are routinely thousandths or
millionths of an ampere) may be used to measure current OR
voltage. A shunt resistor makes this conversion as shown below
in Figure 26.15.
• Consider Example 26.8 to follow a current example. Consider
Example 26.9 to follow a voltage example.
Ammeter Design
Vab = Vab
Ifs Rc = (Ia – Ifs) Rsh
Ifs = 1 mA Rc = 50 ohm
Ia = 50 mA Rsh = ?
Voltmeter Design
Vab = Ifs (Rc + Rs )
Solve for Rs
Rs= (Vab - Ifs Rc)/ Ifs
Ifs = 1 mA Rc = 20 ohm
Vab = 10 v
Rs = ?
Ohmmeters and digital multimeters
• An ohmmeter is designed specifically to measure resistance.
• Refer to Figure 26.17 and Figure 26.18 below to see an
ohmmeter wiring diagram and a photograph of a digital
multimeter. The multimeter can measure current, voltage, or
resistance over a wide range.

kW x time = watt-seconds = Joules
1 kWh = (1000W) (3600 s ) = 3.6 x 106 W-s = 3.6 x 106 J

Fuses, circuit breakers, and GFI
• A fuse will melt and a breaker will
open the circuit if maximum
current is reached. See Figure
26.26.
• GFI stops further current flow
when a sudden drop in resistance
indicates that someone has offered
a new path to ground. I don’t know
if it will save this worker we see in
Figure 26.27 who didn’t use a
grounded drill.
