Simple Circuits Flashcards
1
Q
how are current and resistance related
A
current and resistance are related inversely
2
Q
Types
A
- Series-only one path for the current to travel
- Parallel-multiple pathways for the current to travel
3
Q
positives for series
A
- safer
- less current
- costs less to make
- easily turned off
4
Q
negatives for series
A
- one goes out they all go out
- more loads, lowers current extremely
5
Q
positive about parallel
A
- one bulb goes out and nothing happens
- continued performance of current if need to add or remove one load
6
Q
negatives about parallel
A
- more current drained from power source
- could blow fuse
- reduces battery life
