Parallel +series Circuit

Question 1

Parallel circuit vrs series circuit “current”

Answer 1

Parallel
The current in the branches of this circuit add up to the supply current 1total=1(2)+1(2)
The current through. A resistor in this circuit I=v/r
Circuit
The current is the same at all points in this circuit 1(1)=1(2)=1(3)

Question 2

Resistor

Answer 2

Parallel
Resistors are connected in this circuit they have the same potential difference across them
Series
Adding a resistor increases the total resistance because electric charge has to pass through another component

Question 3

Resistance

Answer 3

Parallel
The total resistance value will always be less than the smallest individual resistor increases the combination
Series
The total resistance of a number of resistors in this circuit is equal to the sum of all the individual resistances
