Voltage And Current

Question 1

How does current behave in a series circuit?

Answer 1

Current in a series circuit is the same at all points.

Question 2

How does voltage behave in a series circuit?

Answer 2

In a series circuit, the voltage over each component in the circuit adds to the total voltage supplied to the circuit.

Question 3

How does voltage behave in a parallel circuit?

Answer 3

Voltage in a parallel circuit is the same at all points.

Question 4

How does current behave in a parallel circuit?

Answer 4

Current in a parallel circuit splits into different branches then combines again before it goes back into the supply.

When the current splits, the current in each branch after the
split adds up to the same as the current just before the split

Question 5

How do you calculate resistance in a series circuit.

Answer 5

Add all the components resistance together.

Question 6

How do you calculate resistance in a parallel circuit.

Answer 6

The confusing one with division.
