Series circuit
circuit that has only one path for current to flow
Voltage drop
amount of voltage required to cause an amount of current to flow through a certain resistance
Voltage polarity
polarity of a voltage at a particular point in a circuit
What is true about current in a series circuit
current in a series circuit is the same at any point in the ciruit
Sum of all voltage drops in a series circuit equals
the total applied voltage
How is voltage drop across each resistor is related to the resistance
proportional to the value of the resistor
What is true about the total resistance in a series circuit
total resistance is equal to the sum of resistances in the circuit
What determines amount of voltage required
amount of current flow and resistance
3 rules of series circuits
current is the same at any point in the circuit
total resistance is the sum of the resistors
applied voltage equals the sum of the voltage drops across all the resistors
