Series and Parallel circuits Flashcards
What is a series circuit?
It is where there is only one way that the current can follow
(S) Complete the statement- the total resistance is the sum of the……
individual resistors or components
(S) Complete the statement- The total potential difference of the cells…..
Is the sum of all the individual cells
(S) Complete the statement- The potential difference of the supply is……
shared between the components
(S) Complete the statement- The Current is the same…..
through each component
(P) Complete the statement- The potential difference across each component……
Is the same
(P) Complete the statement- The Curren is different in……
different branches of the circuit
(P) Complete the statement- The total current through the whole circuit is the sum of the current through………
the separate components
(P) Complete the statement- The higher the resistance…….
the lower the current
