Q
what is a series circuit
A
a circuit where electrical components are connected one after another in a single loop
2
Q
what is the series circuit current rule
A
the same current passes through each component - I(1) = I(2) = I(3)
3
Q
what is the series circuit pd rule
A
in a series circuit the total pd of the power supply is shared between the components - V(s) = V(1) +V(2)
4
Q
what is the series circuit resistance rule
A
the resistance of two (or more) components in series is equal to the sum of resistance of each component - total resistance, R (total) = R(1) + R(2)
