Series Circuits

Question 1

In a series circuit, we only have a _____ loop.

Answer 1

single

Question 2

In a parallel circuit, we have ______ loops

Answer 2

multiple

Question 3

In a serial circuit, the _______ of the battery is _____ across all of the components. That means we can calculate total voltage by simply ______ the voltages of each component up.

Answer 3

voltage, shared, adding

Question 4

In a serial circuit, _____ is the same everywhere in the circuit. That means when have an ammeter, we can place it _____________

Answer 4

current, anywhere

Question 5

What can we also add up besides voltage in a serial circuit?

Answer 5

Resistance

Question 6

Calculating voltage across a single component in a series circuit

Answer 6

Resistance of that component is shown. Use V = IR, you know that current stays the same.
