series and parallel circuits

Question 1

how is current in series circuits?

Answer 1

current is the same everywhere in series circuits including after or before components

Question 2

what happens if one component breaks in series circuits

Answer 2

the whole circuit breaks

Question 3

how do you measure total voltage/potential difference in series circuits?

Answer 3

adding voltage of all other components in the circuit

Question 4

how is total resistance measured in series

Answer 4

total resistance is the total sum of each components resistance

Question 5

how is total voltage split in a parallel circuit?

Answer 5

voltage remains the same across each component

Question 6

how is total split in a parallel circuit?

Answer 6

current is divided into each branch or component of the circuit, the sum of which is equal to the total current

Question 7

what happens to total resistance if there are more loops in parallel circuit

Answer 7

total resistance is lower

Question 8

what is current like for components with a higher resistance parallel circuits

Answer 8

current is lower
