New cards

What happens to current in a series circuit?

Current is the SAME in that loop

2
New cards

What happens to voltage in series circuit?

Voltage is SPLIT between components on that loop, MORE voltage across higher resistance components. (Ones with more resistance get a bigger share)

3
New cards

What happens to current in parallel circuit?

Current is SPLIT down each loop, PROPORTIONAL to the resistance of each branch. More current goes down the lower resistance loop.

4
New cards

What happens to voltage in parallel?

Voltage is the SAME across all components in parallel branches.
