New cards

What is Kirchhoffs first law

The total current entering a junction must equal the total current leaving it

2
New cards

What is Kirchhoffs second law

The total E.M.F around a series circuit equals the sum of the potential differences across each component

3
New cards

How does current act in a series circuit

It is the same everywhere

4
New cards

How does current act in a parallel circuit

It splits at each junction

5
New cards

How does potential difference act in a series circuit

It is split proportionally to the resistance

6
New cards

How does potential difference act in a parallel circuit

The potential difference across each branch is equal to the E.M.F
