Definition
| A circuit that only has one pathway for electrons to flow |
|
|
Term
| Current for series circuit |
|
Definition
| It is the same throughout |
|
|
Term
| Voltage in a series circuit |
|
Definition
| The voltages at each load with add up to the voltage supplied |
|
|
Term
| Resistance in series circuit |
|
Definition
| The resistance will go up if a resistor is added and the current will slow down |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A circuit that has more than one pathway for electrons to flow |
|
|
Term
| Voltage in parallel circuit |
|
Definition
| The parallel loads are equal to each other |
|
|
Term
| Current in a parallel circuit |
|
Definition
| The current in equals the current out |
|
|
Term
| Resistance in a parallel circuit |
|
Definition
| The resistance decreases because there is more pathways so there is more ways for the electrons to flow and the current will increase |
|
