Series circuit

Cards (5)

  • What is a series circuit
    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.
