parallel circuits. Flashcards
1
Q
what is the potential difference like across each component?
A
the same.
2
Q
what is the current drawn from the power supply the sum of?
A
currents through the separate components.
3
Q
the total resistance of 2 resistors is less than what and why?
A
resistance of the smallest individual resistor.
there are more pathways for the current to take, it can take one or another so t allows it to follow easier.
4
Q
adding resistors reduces what?
A
total resistance.
