series vs parallel Flashcards
1
Q
how do you calculate total resistance in series
A
rt = r1 + r2 + r3
2
Q
what happens when you increase resistance in parallel
A
you increase the current
3
Q
what is the formula for potential difference in parallel
A
vt = v1 = v2 = v3
4
Q
what is the formula for current in parallel
A
it = I1 + i2 + i3
5
Q
what is the formula for current in series
A
it = I1 = i2 = i3
6
Q
what is the formula for potential difference in series
A
vt = v1 + v2 + v3
