## Product Efficiencies
- Simply take the output / input x 100 and you get the percentage of the efficiency of your product.
## Ohm's Law
- Ohm's law states that $`V = IR`$, which means the volatage is equal to the current multiplied by the resistance.
- When given a circuit, with one unknown value such as `I`, simply use Ohm's law to find the missing value.
## Series Circuits
- In a series circuit, there are a set of rules where the current, voltage, and resistance follow.
- $`I_T = I_1 = I_2 = I_3 \cdots = I_N`$
- $`V_T = V_1 + V_2 + V_3 \cdots + V_N`$
- $`R_T = R_1 + R_2 + R_3 \cdots + R_N`$
## Parallel Circuits
- In a parallel circuit, there are also a set of rules where the current, voltage, and resistance follow. The current and voltage rules are swapped in this case.
- $`I_T = I_1 + I_2 + I_3 \cdots + I_N`$
- $`V_T = V_1 = V_2 = V_3 \cdots = V_N`$
- $`R_T = (R_1 + R_2 + R_3 \cdots + R_N)^{-1}`$ (I think).
