Required practical 3 - Resistance: Part 2 - Investigating resistance in series and parallel circuits Flashcards
1
Q
Draw 2 resistors in series
A
A resistor side by side connected by a wire.
2
Q
Draw 2 resistors in parallel
A
Resistors in different lanes in a circuit.
3
Q
If both resistors are identical, which combination of resistors will have the least resistance?
A
The resistors in parallel will have a lower resistance than the resistors in series.
4
Q
Relative to the resistance of the resistors, describe the total resistance of the parallel combination
A
The total resistance will be lower than the resistance of the smallest of the 2 individual resistances.
