It is the same everywhere
How is current distributed in a series circuit?
It increases
What happens to total resistance when more resistors are added in series?
it decreses it
How does increasing resistance affect current in a series circuit?
They get dimmer
What happens to light bulbs if current decreases in a series circuit?
It decreases
What happens to circuit current when more resistors are added in series?
The largest resistor
Which resistor uses the most voltage in a series circuit?
The largest resistor
Which resistor uses the most power in a series circuit?
Yes, all of them
Do all resistors in a series affect the total current?
The same as the source voltage
What is the voltage across each resistor in a parallel circuit?
It is smaller than the smallest resistor
How does the total resistance compare to the smallest resistor in a parallel circuit?
It decreases 1
What happens to the total resistance when more resistors are added in parallel?
Only the resistance of that branch
What affects the current in each branch of a parallel circuit?
The one with the smallest resistance
Which resistor uses the most power in a parallel circuit?
It increases
What happens to total current when more resistors are added in parallel?
