# Duality (electrical circuits)
In electrical engineering, electrical terms are associated into pairs called duals. A dual of a relationship is formed by interchanging voltage and current in an expression. The dual expression thus produced is of the same form, and the reason that the dual is always a valid statement can be traced to the duality of electricity and magnetism.
Here is a partial list of electrical dualities:
voltage – current
parallel – series (circuits)
resistance – conductance
voltage division – current division
impedance – admittance
capacitance – inductance
reactance – susceptance
short circuit – open circuit
Kirchhoff's current law (KCL) – Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL)
Thévenin's theorem – Norton's theorem
== History ==
The use of duality in circuit theory is due to Alexander Russell who published his ideas in 1904.
