Electric Circuit Principles Flashcards
1
Q
What is Ohm’s law
A
The voltage across a resistor is proportional to the current flowing through it, based on its resistance
V=IR Voltage = current x resistance
2
Q
Parallel Circuits properties
A
Voltage is the same across all paths.
Current divides among branches.
Total current = Sum of individual branch currents
3
Q
Series Circuits properties
A
Current is the same through all components.
Voltage divides across each component.
4
Q
Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (2nd law)
A
The sum of all voltages around a closed loop equals zero
5
