Current in a Series circuit
Same all the way around it
What do resistors do
Reduce the current
Voltage in a series circuit
Divided between the components
Current in a parallel circuit
Current splits at junction. All loops add up to the current from battery
Voltage in a parallel circuit
Same across all components and battery
Current and voltage in series
Current: same
Voltage: splits up
Current and voltage in parallel circuit
Current: splits up
Voltage: same
