Parallel Circuit Flashcards
1
Q
Both ends of the components are connected together.
A
Parallel circuits
2
Q
= contains two or more
branches for current to move through, current splits up to flow through the different branches because all branches connect the same two points of the circuit - the voltage difference is the same in each branch more current flows through the branches that have the lower resistance
A
