6c Flashcards
Equivalent resistance
the effective resistance when two or more resistive components
are treated as one component
Series circuit
Series connection
series circuit an electric circuit that has only series connections
series connection a connection of components from end to end
How to find resistance equivalent
Sun of all resistance is resistance equivalent to
Current in a series circuit
Equal at all parts
Voltage load is found by
Adding all components equaling the batter line
Current equation
Total voltage divide total resistance
Voltage drop equation
Vn = IRn
What happens with series with multiple components
Larger voltage drop across higher resistance components
How is power calculated
Total power by source is total power by load
P=VnI
Power decrease with more components
