Ohms law Flashcards
1
Q
Series-current
A
Remains the same throughout the entire circuit
2
Q
Parallel-Total resistance
A
The total resistance is less than any of the branch resistors
1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + …
3
Q
Series- voltage
A
-may change from resistor to resistor
-depends on individual resistance of each circuit component
-must add up to he total voltage provided by the battery
4
Q
Parallel-current
A
-may change from resistor to resistor
-the total current in each branch of a parallel circuit adds up to the total current of the circuit
5
Q
Series-total resistance
A
-increases wih the number of resistors added (add resistances together)
6
Q
Parallel-voltage
A
-voltage remains the same across all resistors connected in parallel
