Current
Symbol - I
Unit- ampere
Unit symbol - A
Measure using- Amneter
Potential difference/voltage
Symbol-V
Unit-voltage
Unit symbol-V
Measured using-voltmeter
Resistance
Symbol-R
Unit-Ohm
Unit symbol-omega
Measured using-Ohmmeter
Bulbs in series
If a bulb blows,none of them turn on
The same amount of currents flows through each bulb in the series
The voltage is split up,depending on the size of the bulb
Bulbs in parallel
The lights in your house are connected in parallel,if a bedroom light blows the kitchen light is unaffected
The current is split between the bulbs, if they are the Same size,then the currents is split evenly.
The same voltage flows through each bulb,so they are brighter than those in series.
