charging a battery is fundamentally shoving in current the wrong way

direction of flow doesn't really matter, wrong way of current flow just flips to neg

can walk in whatever loops on the rollercoaster

we need KBhPHYS201KirkoffsLaws

most engineers dont go back to the laws to solve a circuit. instead, they:

replace clusters of parrelles with one equivalent resistor "morph" the circuit

resistors in series -> one equivalent resistor one resistor in circuit

v=ir
voltage = current * resistance

1.1 howto: calculating equivalent resistors

connected in series: the sum of the individual resistances.

R + R = 2R

Two resistors connected in parallel: The reciprocal of the equivalent resistance of two resistances connected in parallel is the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances. what??

1 / Req = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3

just add the reciprocals to get the INVERSE of Req

1.1.1 problem:

       |--20--|
*--10--        --*
       |--60--|

1/20 + 1/60 = 4/60 = 1/r2 flip, 60/4 = 15

15 + 10 = 25 \(\Omega\)


* -- {9v} -- 10 -- [20, 30] -- [40, 50] -- *
R# R dV I P
1 10 2.03 .203 0.41
2 20 2.44 .122 0.29
3 30 2.44 .081 0.19
4 40 4.53 .113 0.51
5 50 4.53 .090 0.41

summing up parrelel: 10, 12, 22 ohm sum = 44 ohm 9V/44Ohm = 0.203Amps coming out of bat


1/10000+1/3300 + 1/1000
