Whats the difference between a series and parallel circuit?
New cards
2
Voltage in a series circuit is...
shared across all components, proportional to their resistance. DO THE RATIO. Total voltage / total resistance x resistance of component.
New cards
3
Current in a series circuit is...
the same everywhere.
New cards
4
I1 = I2 = I3
New cards
5
Resistance in a series circuit is...
just the sum of each component.
New cards
6
R= R1 + R2 + R3
New cards
7
Voltage in a parallel circuit is...
the same across each path.
New cards
8
V1 = V2 = V3
New cards
9
Current in a parallel circuit is...
shared across all components, proportional to their resistance. DO THE RATIO - more current will go across less resistance.
New cards
10
Resistance in a parallel circuit is...
lower, because the charge has more branches to flow across. The more branches you add, the less the total resistance is. It can be calculated using 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2.
