Formulas

Current (I) (amps)

Parallel IT = I1 + I2 + I3

Ohms law

I = V/R

Series

IT = I1 = I2 = I3

Indivitual current of resistor in seiries

(Total resistance / individual resistance) x total circuit current

Voltage (V) (Volts)

Voltage drop across each resistor V = I x R


Power (W) (Watts)

Power dissipated by a resistor P = I x V
Power dissipated by a resistor P = Ix RΩ
Power dissipated by a resistor P = V2 / RΩ


Resistance (Ω) (Ohms)

Resistance with multiple resistors (Parallel) Ω = (R1-1 + R2-1 + R3-1) -1
Resistance with multiple resistors (Seiries) Ω = R1 + R2 + R3
Ohms law Ω = V / I
