23
Q

Name the parts of a lightbulb

A
  1. Filament
  2. Side contact
  3. Bottom contact
  4. Separator
24
Q

Series circuit:

A
  1. Current is the same everywhere
  2. Voltage is different, depends on the resistance
  3. Resistance is simply added up
  4. Current goes through small resistance first
25
Q

Parallel circuit:

A
  1. Current is different
  2. Voltage is the same
  3. Resistance is 1/r1+1r2
  4. Current goes everywhere evenly
26
Q

What is the trick to remember what is the same in which circuit?

A

Current = I
SerIes

So, voltage must be the same in parallel

27
Q

In a circuit, what does a switch do?

A

It adds a break to the circuit, stopping any current from flowing
