loads in parallel circuit Flashcards
a parallel circuit has _______
more than one path
what happens if there is an interruption in one path?
other paths are not affected
how do you calculate total Amperes (I)?
1 (total) = I(1) + I(2) + I(3) ….
current from each path in the I ______ to energy source’s current
add up
how do you calculate total Voltage (V)?
V (total) = V(1) = V(2) = V(3)….
how do you calculate Voltage (V)?
Ampere x Resistance (IR)
what law is used for each component?
Ohm’s Law
when can you use Ohm’s Law?
only when 2 of 3 information from the same component is known
as more loads are added, total resistance _____
decreases
as more loads are added, total ampere ______
increases
as more loads are added, each load gets ____ voltage
the same
as more loads are added, each lightbulb has ______ brightness
the same
