When doing circuit analysis, you need to know some essential laws, electrical quantities, relationships, and theorems. If the circuit components are connected end to end to form a single loop it is a seriescircuit remember that current is the rate at which electrons move through the circuit. Using kirchhoffs laws, you can simplify a network of resistors using a single equivalent resistor. Turn off all independent sources except one source. Substituting this into the simpler of the two initial equations gives r1 10. For the series circuit, we can find the voltage across each resistor by the formula.
