What is a
series circuit
A
series circuit
is a circuit in which all the
components
are in the same
loop.
What happens to the pd
It is
shared
across all the components.
How do you find total resistance
Add together
the
resistances
of each
component
in the
circuit.
What happens to the current
Current
is the
same
for every
component
in the circuit
In a series circuit, do the components with the largest resistance get the largest or smallest share of the potential difference?
In a series circuit, components with the largest resistance get the largest share of the potential difference.
