1
Q
Current in a series?
A
Same throughout.
2
Q
Potential Difference?
A
Total is shared across components.
(Greater the resistance = Larger share of voltage)
3
Q
Resistance in series?
A
Total shared between components.
4
Q
Current in parallel?
A
Shared between branches.
5
Q
Potential difference in parallel?
A
Each branch is equal to battery.
6
Q
