4.4 series Circuits Flashcards
1
Q
What is the current do in a series?
A
The current stays the same in each component
2
Q
What happens to the total potential difference in a series?
A
The total potential difference is shabby between the components
3
Q
What happens when you add all of the components resistance in a series?
A
You get the total resistance
4
Q
How do you work out the total potential difference of cells in a series?
A
You sum up all of their individual potential differences
5
Q
How do you work out the total resistance?
A
R (total) = R1 + R2’
6
Q
What happens when you add more resistors in a series?
A
The total resistance increases because the current through the resistors is reduced (potential difference across is unchanged)
