study checklist 2

Question 1

compare series and parallel circuits

Answer 1

series= all energy is shared, one path only
parallel= multiple paths, energy on each component is same and not shared

Question 2

define current, the Si unit and how it is measured with an ammeter.

Answer 2

current is the rate at which the electrons flow past a point in a complete electric circuit.
SI unit= I. measured in Amps (Ampere).
to measure current with ammeter it must be connected in series because it experiences the same amount of current that flows in the circuit.

Question 3

determine current in series and parallel circuits.

Question 4

define voltage, the SI unit and how it is measured with an voltmeter
