Parallel Circuits Flashcards
1
Q
Two cells in parallel
A
Overall PD is the same, electrons only move through one
2
Q
Add resistors in parallel
A
Overall resistance decreases and current increases, multiple pathways
3
Q
Resistors are
A
Current dividers
4
Q
Useful in household circuits
A
One pathway breaks, others still work
5
Q
Parallel
A
More than one pathway for electric current to move through circuit
