                                                | Basic notations

                                                                                            | resistance (R) | V/I or ρ l/A |  in the formula for resistance, the first formula has current and the second one has length of the resistor Effect of stretching of wire on resistance
                        
                                    
                        | L -- original length of wireA -- original cross-sectional area
 L' -- length of wire after stretching
 A' -- cross-sectional area of wire after stretching
 
 final resistance, R' = n2R
 |  |  | Resistors in Series
                        
                                    
                        | V = IR(s) ......[R(s) is equivalent resistance for resistors in series]
 general formula for 'n' resistors in series --
 R(s) = R(1) + R(2) + R(3) + ......... + R(n)
 ∴ R(s) = n R
 |  n --- no. of equal resistors Resistors in Parallel
                        
                                    
                        | I = V/R(p) .....[R(p) is equivalent resistance for resistors in parallel]
 general formula for 'n' resistors in parallel --
 1/R(p) = 1/R(1) + 1/R(2) + 1/R(3) + .... + 1/R(n)
 ∴ R(p) = R/n
 |  Kirchoff's Laws
                        
                                    
                        | 1st Law :-At any junction of several circuit elements, the sum of currents entering the junction must be equal to sum of currents leaving it.
 
 2nd Law:-
 The algebraic sum of changes in potential around any closed resistor loop must be zero.

                            Here if,P/R = Q/S or
 P/Q = R/S, then,
 we can simply remove G.
 Now, P & Q are in series and R & S are in series, and the combination of the two are in parallel
