In a series circuit, the components are connected in a
single
path for the
current
to flow through.
Current =
Charge
/
Time
An electric circuit is a closed loop through which an electric
current
can flow.
The
current
is the rate at which
charge
flows through an object.
Electric potential difference
(V) is measured in
volts
(V).
A
parallel circuit
has multiple paths for the current to travel, providing
different branches
for the flow of electricity.
Electric potential difference
(V) is measured in
volts
, V.
Charge is measured in
coulombs
(
C
)
The total resistance is equal to the sum of all
individual resistances
in a
series
circuit.
Electric circuits consist of conductors that allow
electrons
to
move
freely from one place to another.
Time is measured in
seconds
(s)
A cell or
battery
provides
electrical energy
that flows around the circuit.
In a
parallel
circuit, there are
multiple
paths for the current to follow.
Charge is measured in
coulombs
(
C
).
Resistance is the measure of how
difficult
it is for
electrical energy
to pass through a component or material.
Current is measured in
amperes
(
A
)
Resistance is measured in
ohms
, Ω.
A
conductor
allows
electricity
to pass easily through it.
The unit for current is
amperes
(A) or
amps
The potential difference across a component causes
charge carriers
(
electrons
) to move from one end of the component to the other.
The total resistance in a parallel circuit is
less
than any one of its
component resistors.
Resistance is measured in
ohms
(Ω).
In a series circuit, if one component fails or
breaks down
, it will stop the
entire
circuit from working.
Resistance is measured in
ohms
(Ω)
Ohm's Law
states that the voltage across a
resistor
is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Insulators
do not let
electricity
pass through them.
Power is measured in
watts
,
W.
In a series circuit, there is only
one pathway
for the electric charge to follow.
