Difference Between Series and Parallel Circuits Flashcards
To know difference between series and parallel circuits
1
Q
A series circuit is…?
The current is?
A
A circuit with one loop.
Same in all components.
Total p.d is shared between components.
Total resistance is the sum of each component’s resistance.
2
Q
A parallel circuit is…?
The current is?
A
A circuit with two or more loops.
Total current is the sum of each components resistant.
P.d across all components is the same.
Total resistance is less than the resistance value of smallest individual resistor.
