Series and Parallel circuits | Circuit Diagrams Flashcards
1
Q
What is a Series circuit?
A
Circuit with one path for the current to flow.
2
Q
How does Current and Voltage apply to Series circuits?
A
- Same Current
- Different Voltage (sum of voltage drops = total voltage)
3
Q
What is a Parallel Circuit?
A
Circuit with multiple paths for the current to flow through.
4
Q
How does Current and Voltage apply to Parallel circuits?
A
- Different Current (splits)
- Same Voltage (across all branches)
