  • True or false? Pd is shared between components in a series circuit
    true
  • How does the current through each component vary in a series circuit?
    constant. (The same)
  • True or false? Current is shared between the the branches of a parallel circuit
    True
  • A resistor is in series with a cell. A second is added in parallel to the first. How does the overall resistance of the circuit change?
    The overall resistance decreases.
  • Describe an experiment to investigate how adding resistors in series and parallel affects that total resistance of the circuit
