The image contains handwritten notes on electrical circuits, specifically on series and parallel resistor configurations. Below is the transcribed content, along with explanations of the diagrams described in the text.

---

**Problem Statement:**
\[ E_b = 48V \]
\[ R_1 = 24\Omega \]
\[ R_2 = 96\Omega \]

**Tasks:**
1. Calculate \( I_s \) and \( J_s \) for the series circuit.
2. Calculate \( I_p \) and \( J_p \) for the parallel circuit.

---

**a) Series Circuit Analysis:**

- **Diagram:**
  A series circuit with a voltage source (\( E_b \)) and two resistors (\( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \)) in series.

- **Equations:**
  \[ R_{eqs} = R_1 + R_2 \]

  \[ I_s = \frac{E_b}{R_{eqs}} = \frac{E_b}{R_1 + R_2} \]

  \[ J_s = E_b \cdot I_s = \frac{E_b^2}{R_1 + R_2} \]

---

**b) Parallel Circuit Analysis:**

- **Diagram:**
  A parallel circuit with a voltage source (\( E_b \)) and two resistors (\( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \)) parallel to each other.

- **Equations:**
  \[ \frac{1}{R_{eqp}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} \]

  \[ R_{eqp} = \frac{R_1 \cdot R_2}{R_1 + R_2} \]

  \[ I_p = \frac{E_b}{R_{eqp}} = \frac{E_b \cdot (R_1 + R_2)}{R_1 \cdot R_2} \]

  \[ J_p = E_b \cdot I_p = \frac{E_b^2 \cdot (R_1 + R_2)}{R_1 \cdot R_2} \]

These notes provide a clear comparison between the behavior of series and parallel circuits, specifically in terms of equivalent resistance, current, and power calculations.
