Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.

**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:**
\[ \frac{1}{R_{eqp}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} \]
\[ R_{eqp} = \frac{R_1 \cdot R_2}{R_1 + R_2} \]
\[ I_p = \frac{E_b}{R_{eqp}} = \frac{E_b \cdot (R_1 + R_2)}{R_1 \cdot R_2} \]
\[ J_p = E_b \cdot I_p = \frac{E_b^2 \cdot (R_1 + R_2)}{R_1 \cdot R_2} \]
