Electricity and Electronics
2 original lesson summaries in this topic collection.
Topic overview
- V = IR; ohmic components give straight-line V–I graphs.
- Series: same current, R adds. Parallel: same voltage, currents add, 1/R_T = Σ1/R.
- Power P = VI = I²R = V²/R; ideal battery life = capacity ÷ current.
- Patient-connected devices require strict leakage-current control.
