Series Circuit Flashcards
1
Q
Things about series circuits
A
- closed circuits
- current only follows a single path
- total current onto the junction = total current in each of the branches
- the potential difference is the same across each “branch”
2
Q
How are series circuits connected
A
End to end
3
Q
Where does the current flow in a circuit
A
All components
4
Q
How many caomponents can be switched off at once
A
All at once
5
Q
Pd in series circuits
A
Pd is shared across the whole circuit
6
Q
Pd of power supply = …
A
Sum of PD across each components
7
Q
Current at one point= …..
A
Current at any other point
8
Q
What is the total resistance in a series circuit
A
The sum of the resistance in each component
9
Q
What is current
A
The flow of electrons
