New cards

What is a series circuit

a closed circuit in whihc thr current has one path to follow. All components appear one after the other

2
New cards

State the rule for current in series

Current is the same throughout a circuit

3
New cards

State the rule for voltage in series

voltage is equally shared between all components

4
New cards

State the rule for resistance in series

resistance is the sum all of resistances in series circuit

5
New cards

What is a parallel circuit

a closed circuit which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit

6
New cards

State the rule for current in parallel

current is shared between each branch

7
New cards

State the rule for voltage in parallel

voltage is the same in each branch

8
New cards

State the rule for resistance in parallel

sum of all resistances = 1/R1 + 1/R2 …
