What you'll learn

  • Determine the value of all electronic characteristics (voltage, current, resistance, power) of any series resistive circuit.
  • State the four basic rules governing series resistor circuits.

Course content

4 sections • 12 lectures • 2h 10m total length

  • Introduction for Electronics: Resistors in Series4:49

    This course Introduction video walks through the topics covered in this week 5 of a full semester course about "DC Electronics", and develops the training for the rules of series resistive circuits as used in electronics.

    Topics Include:

    • The Four Resistor Configurations
    • Ground and Grounding
    • Series Resistances are Additive
    • Kirchhoff's Voltage Law and How It Applies to Series Resistive Circuits
    • Current in a Series Circuit
    • What is Voltage Drop?
    • Conclusion with Practice Exercises in Series Circuits
  • The Four Resistor Configurations9:32

    Given some number of resistors, there are only four ways that resistors can be connected together:

    1. In Series
    2. In Parallel
    3. In Series-Parallel
    4. In a Complex Resistive Circuit

    This lecture describes the first three configurations, and promises to cover the fourth after the student has mastered the first three.

  • Resistor Configurations
  • The Use of Ground in Electricity and Electronics19:38

    Electrical and electronic circuits require ground connections for several reasons. This lecture describes the concept of grounding, then shows the main ground schematic symbols and explains how they are used.

Requirements

  • It would be helpful if the student understood Ohm's Law, however, in this course, Ohm's Law is provided on the screen whenever needed for computations.

Description

Electronics: Resistors in Series S1W5

This Basics Electronics Course will teach you how to solve series resistor circuits. To understand Direct Current (DC) Electronics, you need to master four resistor configurations:

  1. Series Resistor Circuits
  2. Parallel Resistor Circuits
  3. Series-Parallel Resistor Circuits
  4. Complex Resistor Circuits

This course will teach you to master the first category above.

These are the topics covered in this course:

  • Master and solve series resistor circuits using Ohm's Law.
  • Learn to correctly apply Ohm's Law to series resistive circuits.
  • Recognize the “Two Out of Three" rule that will allow you to apply the correct formula to the solution of a circuit.
  • Understand the correct use of the Ohm's Law Triangle.
  • Understand the correct use of the Ohm's Law Wheel.

In other words, you will understand exactly how to solve series circuit resistor problems!

Thiscourse is important if you wish to understand electronics. The analysis of basic series circuits is a fundamental tool that you must master to properly troubleshoot, analyze and maintain electronic equipment. Ohm's Law states the basic relationships between voltage, current and resistance in an electronic circuit. This information is mandatory for any hobbyist or professional who needs to understand how electronic circuits work. This course is a quality product taught by a college instructor who has been teaching electronics for over twenty years. It is the equivalent of a full week of college level training at a community college or technical university.

The primary teaching method is instructor led lectures using PowerPoint slide presentations. Drawings, images and schematics are used to clearly illustrate each electronic principle. There are ten separate lectures that take you through the concepts of Ohm's Law and series circuits in a clear, simple manner. A number of quizzes are included test your retention of the lecture material.

At the end of this course, you will have a solid grasp of the principles of Ohm's Law and the application of this law to the solution of electronic circuit problems.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is for students who desire to know how electronic circuits work.
  • This is part of a full semester of electronics training titled "DC Electronics", where students learn the characteristics of Direct Current electronic circuits. Major topics include series circuits, parallel circuits and series-parallel circuits.
