D.C. Circuits Flashcards
1
Q
How does current flow in series?
A
The current flows along a single path
2
Q
How does current flow in parallel?
A
The current flow is branched into more than one path
3
Q
How do you calculate the current in a series circuit?
A
Current delivered by battery is equal to current passing through each resistor.
Current in battery = I1 = 12
4
Q
What is the voltage across each resistor in a series circuit?
A
Voltage of battery = V1 + V2
5
Q
Additional formula for series and parallel circuit
A
Voltage of battery = current of battery X Rnet
6
Q
How do you calculate current in parallel circuit?
A
Current in battery = I1 + I2
7
Q
What is the voltage across battery?
A
Voltage of battery = V1 = V2
