Electricity & Circuitry Flashcards
1
Q
In a series circuit, current is…
A
the same everywhere.
2
Q
In a parallel circuit, current is…
A
split at junctions:
current into junction = current out of junction.
3
Q
In a series circuit, voltage is…
A
shared between components (using V=IR).
4
Q
In a parallel circuit, voltage is…
A
full everywhere.
5
Q
In a series circuit, resistance…
A
adds up:
Total = R + R + R + … .
6
Q
In a parallel circuit, resistance…
A
decreases when extra components are added:
1/Total = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R + … .
