Q: What is a series circuit?
A: A single loop; one path for current; if one part fails, the whole circuit stops.
2
New cards
Q: What is a parallel circuit?
A: Multiple branches; current splits; if one branch fails, others still work.

How does current behave in a series circuit?
A: The current is the same at all points in the circuit.
4
New cards
Q: How is voltage distributed in a series circuit?
A: It is shared between all components.s; if one branch fails, others still work.
5
New cards
Q: How does current behave in a parallel circuit?
A: The current splits across the branches.

Q: How is voltage distributed in a parallel circuit?
A: Each branch gets the full voltage from the power source.
