loads in series circuit

Question 1

how many paths does a series circuit have?

Answer 1

only one path

Question 2

what happens if the series circuit path is interrupted?

Answer 2

the whole circuit cannot function

Question 3

what do loads do?

Answer 3

transform electrical energy into other energy

Question 4

how do you calculate total Amperes (I)?

Answer 4

I (total) = I(1) = I(2) = I(3) = I(4)

Question 5

all components in the I series have ____ current?

Answer 5

the same

Question 6

how do you calculate total Voltage (V)?

Answer 6

V (total) = V(1) + V(2) + V(3)….

Question 7

voltage from each component in the V series _______ to energy source’s voltage

Answer 7

add up

Question 8

how do you calculate total Resistance (R)?

Answer 8

R (total) = R(1) + R(2) + R(3)…

Question 9

resistance from each component in the R series ______ to the circuit’s resistance

Answer 9

add up

Question 10

how do you calculate Voltage (V)?

Answer 10

Ampere x Resistance (IR)

Question 11

what law do you use for each component?

Answer 11

Ohm’s Law

Question 12

you can only use Ohm’s Law when….?

Answer 12

2 out of 3 information from the same component is known

Question 13

as more loads are added, total resistance _____

Answer 13

increases

Question 14

as more loads are added, total ampere ______

Answer 14

decreases

Question 15
