Series Circuits
What is the definition of a series circuit?
A circuit where there is only one path for the current to flow.
What is the definition of a parallel circuit?
A circuit where there are more than one path for the current to flow.
What does the symbol “circle with an A inside” represent?
Sorry we can’t put in pictures
Ammeter
What happens if multiple bulbs that are connected through series circuits break?
Every bulb goes out.
What is the rule for parallel circuits? (About Current)
The current through the cell is equal to the total of the current in all the branches.
What does the symbol “circle with an x inside” represent?
Sorry we can’t put in pictures
A bulb
The voltage in a parallel circuit is the same as the battery. True or False?
True
What does the symbol that’s looks like a “semi-circle with legs” represent?
I tried my best ok
What happens to the current and voltage in a series circuit?
The current remains the same and the voltage decreases. The supplied voltage will be shared among components.
A bulb in a parallel circuit is normally brighter but the battery runs out faster as it uses its full voltage.
What does the symbol that looks like “ a circle with a V inside” represent?
What does the symbol that looks like “a rectangle with a slash going across” represent?
A variable resistor
