physics - investigating resistacne in series/parallel circuits Flashcards
1
Q
if the resistors are identical, in which circuit will they have the least resistance?
A
the resistors that are in parallel will have lower resistance than the resistors in series
2
Q
describe the total resistance of resistors that are connected in parallel.
A
the total resistance will be lower than the resistance of the smallest of the two individual resistors
3
Q
how to connect resistors in parallel?
A
they should look like train tracks - one across the middle and one below it, across the bottom
4
Q
how to connect resistors in series?
A
they should be connected next to each other
