4.3 circuits Flashcards
is the current in a series ..
A differently storng throught
b equally strong throughout
B
in bulbs in a series circuit..
A the voltage that the buttery provides will be divided between the bulbs depending on how big they are
B will be split across the bulbs
B
what is the total current of bulbs in a series circuit?
the sum of the current through the branches
in bulbs in a parallel circuit -
will every bulb get the same voltage?
and what is it?
yes they will. it is the source voltage
can you turn each bulb on\off individually?
Yes, meaning that if one of the bulbs burns out the tohers will keep working
what is source voltage?
the voltage of the voltage source (for example a battery)
what is a parallel circuit?
a circuit with multiple closed pathways
what are circuit digrams
a clear drwaing of a circuit often showing symbols
what is a series circuit?
a circuit that consists of one closed pathway without branches.
what is total current?
the current in the unbranched part of a parallel circuit
