Series Circuit Flashcards
1
Q
How is it formed
A
○ Circuit series is formed when all the circuit components are in a line (circuits form a single loop)
2
Q
Current in series
A
Current is measured anywhere in the circuit and will have the same value
3
Q
Voltage in series
A
○ Voltage is not always the same over every circuit component
§ Depends on the resistance that the circuit components give
§ If two circuits have different resistances, there will be a larger voltage over the component with a larger resistance
○ All voltages across the circuit add up to the voltage supplied by the energy source (e.g. battery)
§ To measure the voltage, there would have to be a volt meter
