Series And Parallel Flashcards
1
Q
Why does placing resistors in parallel increases current.
A
Electron only has to pass through one resistor each time.
This means resistance is lower
Increase pd
Increase current flowing
2
Q
One advantage of connecting lamps in parallel rather than series.
A
If one bulb fails, others still work
This increases brightness of each bulb
3
Q
What stays the same and changes in series
A
Current stays same
Voltage changes
