Resistors in parallel and series Flashcards
1
Q
Equivalent resistance of resistors in series will be
A
Larger than the resistance of individual resistors
2
Q
Equivalent resistance of resistors in parallel will be
A
Smaller than the resistance of individual resistors
3
Q
Two resistors in series with battery. If resistance is higher with one than the other, what is true of their currents?
A
Same current, which is equal to the current from the battery
4
Q
What happens to Req if adding a 4th resistor in parallel
A
Decreases
5
Q
