10 Terms

1
New cards

Define a series circuit

A circuit with only one pathway for the electrons to go through

<p>A circuit with only one pathway for the electrons to go through </p>
2
New cards

Define a parallel circuit

A circuit with multiple pathways for the electrons to go through

<p>A circuit with multiple pathways for the electrons to go through </p>
3
New cards

Voltage in series circuits

Decreases after every resistor

4
New cards

Current in series circuits

Remains the same throughout the circuit

5
New cards

Resistance in series circuits

Adds up for each resistor on the circuit

6
New cards

Voltage in parallel circuits

Equal for resistors/lightbulbs at parallel

7
New cards

Current in parallel circuits

Change/splits up at intersections

8
New cards

Resistance in parallel circuits

Resistors in parallel have less of an effect because there are multiple pathways

9
New cards

Lightbulbs in series circuits

Will be equal but dimmer

10
New cards

Lightbulbs in parallel circuits

Will be equal and bright
