A
One after the other
2
Q
What does parallel mean in a circuit?
A
More than one path (branches)
3
Q
What is the current when in series in different parts of the circuit?
A
The same,
4
Q
What is the current in a parallel circuit?
A
Sum of currents through each branch
5
Q
What is p.d in a series circuit?
A
Shared between components, sum of p.d in each component
6
Q
What is the p.d in a parallel circuit?
A
It is equal in each branch
7
Q
