Ohm’s Law I V R ”One microampere flowing in one ohm causes a one microvolt potential drop.”
DC & AC RESPONSE
Resistor’s circuit configuration
Series: Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3 Rtotal = 18 k Ω The current and voltages in every resistor are:
Parallel: Rtotal = 625 Ω The current and voltages in every resistor are:
Delta or Wye :
Conversion: “Multiply the adjacent, divide by the sum” Tip:
Ex. Converting Delta to Wye

Common uses of series, parallel and delta configuration;
BJT Collector Power rating – 0.6 watts Collector Power must be less than the maximum rating of the BJT. Base on the computed value, Ic is 0.84 mA , and Vce is 12.34 V. So the Collector power is just Vce * I = 10.37 mW . The BJT is safe.
