What is the rule for current in a series circuit?
Current is the same everywhere.
What is the rule for potential difference in a series circuit?
Potential difference is shared among the components. It adds up to the potential difference of the power source.
What is the rule for resistance in a series circuit?
Resistance adds up
What is the rule for current in a parallel circuit?
Current splits across the branches.
What is the rule for potential difference in a parallel circuit?
Potential difference is the same across each branch.
What is the rule for resistance in a parallel circuit?
The total resistance is less than the lowest value resistor.
