circuits - yr10

Question 1

current is the

series circuit

Answer 1

same everywhere

Question 2

voltage is

series circuit

Answer 2

shared

Question 3

resistance is

series circuit

Answer 3

added

Question 4

current is

parallel circuit

Answer 4

shared

Question 4

voltage is the

parallel

Answer 4

same everywhere

Question 5

resistance is

parallel

Answer 5

less than the other resistances

Question 6

what is a parallel circuit?

Answer 6

circuit that has two or more paths for the electricity to flow parallel to each other

Question 7

what is a series circuit?

Answer 7

series circuit has only one path through which its current can flow.

Question 9

circuit rules
(series)

Answer 9

An electron will pass through every component on its way round the circuit. If one of the bulbs is broken then
current will not be able to flow round the circuit. If one bulb goes out, they all go out.

Question 10

circuit rules
(paralell)

Answer 10

An electron not pass through every component on its way round the circuit. If one of the bulbs is broken then current will still be able to flow round the circuit through the other loop. If one bulb goes out, the other will stay on.
