describe the trend in a series circuit for voltage
the total voltage is shared between each component
describe trend in a parallel circuit for voltage
the voltage across each component is the same
what can be said about the resistance if two resistors are in parallel
their total resistance is less than the smallest of the two individual resistances
what can be said about the resistance if two resistors are in series
their total resistance is the sum of the two individual resistances
where is a voltmeter placed in a circuit
in parallel with what is being measured
where is an ammeter placed in a circuit
in series with what is being measured
what is the equation for voltage (if energy and charge are known)
voltage = energy transferred/ charge
what is a volt also known as
joule per coulomb
what is the equation of charge
charge = current * time
describe the current at any point in a closed circuit
the current is the same at all points
what factors does the current in a circuit depend on
voltage and resistance
what is equation of voltage if current and resistance are known
voltage = current * resistance
what happens when current reaches a junction in a circuit
the current is split between two branches
