The document discusses the basic parts of electricity including electrons, conductors, and the force that moves electrons. It also defines direct current and alternating current, and examines voltage dividers through examples of circuits with multiple resistors connected in series and parallel configurations. Formulas for calculating total resistance, voltage, and current in series and parallel circuits are provided.

9. The total resistance for a
purely parallel circuit can
be found by using the
reciprocal formula
RT = 1
1 + 1 + 1

The total resistance for a
purely series circuit can be
found by using summation
formula
RT = R1 + R2 + R3
