Series and parrael circuits

Cards (7)

  • what happens in series circuit?

    Current flows through all components
  • What happens in parrael circuit?

    Current splits up at same stage because you have 2 or more loops
  • 1)current is same size at all points in circuit
    Series rule
  • Adding bulbs make blub dimmer why?

    It reduces current flowing in series current
  • Potential difference rule) 

    The p.d of battery is shared between bulbs
  • If the bulbs are same...

    The share is equal
  • Resistance rule) total resistance in circuit is the sum of the individual resistance
