L12 - parallel circuit Flashcards
(5 cards)
1
Q
current in parallel.
A
splits up in each component.
2
Q
voltage in parallel.
A
same in each component. (if bulbs are on same line, voltage will be split.)
3
Q
voltage equation parallel
A
Vt=V¹=V²
4
Q
current equation parallel
A
It=I¹+I²..
5
Q
total resistance is lower than resistance in either components because..
A
instead of one resistance path, there are multiple paths for electrons to take.
