a path between two or more points along which an electrical current can be carried.
What is a circuit?
100
this circuit is identified as

?=IxR
What is voltage?
100
When resistors are connected in the current through each resistor is the same.
What is the series resistors?
100
this circuit determines
What is a series circuit?
200
a rate at which electric energy is converted to another form.
What is a electrical power?
200
In a parallel circuit, all components are connected across each other, forming exactly two sets of electrically common points.
What is a parallel circuit diagram?
200
?=VxR
What is power?
200
are in parallel if their terminals are connected to the same two nodes. The equivalent overall resistance is smaller than the smallest
What is a parallel resistor?
200
Each individual path (through R1, R2, and R3) is called
What is a branch?
300
a circuit is closed if the circle is complete, if all currents have a path back to where they came from
What is a closed circuit?
300
square root of P/R
What is current?
300
?= V/I
What is resistance?
300
this symbol determinesWhat is a circuit breaker?
300
2K+2K+2K x 12V=(ex. total resistance, voltage)
What is Power?
400
At any node (junction) in an electrical circuit, the sum of currents flowing into that node is equal to the sum of currents flowing out of that node.
What is Kirchhoff's current law?
400
As you add more and more branches to the circuit the total current will increase because Ohm's Law states that the lower.
What is the resistance of a parallel circuit?
400
is the same across each component of the circuit.
What is the voltage?
400
the total power.What is 20x5=100?
400
In general, if the power consumed would depend on the circuit structure. But for a simple case, such as two resistors connected in series versus the same resistors connected in parallel (with identical voltage sources in both), the power dissipated in the parallel combination will be
What is greater?
500
a schematic is a drawing of a circuit, schematic represents circuit elements with symbols and connections as lines.
What is a schematic?
500
determine the total resistance
What is 1?
500
The potential difference (voltage) across an ideal conductor is proportional to the current through it.
What is Ohm's Law?
500
the total power.
What is 20+30+50+20x10=1,020
500
Components of an electrical circuit or electronic circuit can be connected in many different ways. The two simplest of these are called (blank) and(blank) and occur frequently. Components connected in (blank) are connected along a single path, so the same current flows through all of the components.
