Chapter 1, Section 5 Flashcards
1
Q
What is the rule for calculation of total resistance for series circuits?
A
Total resistance in a series circuit is the sum of individual resistances.
2
Q
What is the rule for current in a series circuit?
A
Current is the same at all points in a series circuit.
3
Q
What is the rule for voltage in a series circuit?
A
Voltage is divided among components in proportion to their resistances.
4
Q
What is the rule for voltage distribution in a parallel circuit?
A
Voltage across each branch is the same in a parallel circuit.
5
Q
What is the rule for current paths in a parallel circuit?
A
Current divides among branches based on their resistance (lower resistance, higher current).
