P4 Flashcards
Ohmic conductor graph at constant temperature is…
Directly proportional to potential difference.
Filament lamp graph is…
Current increases the temperature of the filament will also increase, so the resistance increases. The graph will get shallower so a curve us created.
Diode graph is…
Current will only flow through a diode in one direction. The diode has very high resistance in the reverse direction.
Resistance in a series circuit…
Adds up so R = R1+R2
Cell potential differences…
Add up in a series circuit.
Parallel circuits potential difference is…
The same across all components
Parallel circuit current is…
Shared between components
Adding a resistor in a parallel circuit…
Reduces the total resistance
Ohmic conductors have a…
Constant resistance.
