1
Q
What is the rule for current in a series circuit?
A
Current is the same everywhere.
2
Q
What is the rule for potential difference in a series circuit?
A
Potential difference is shared among the components. It adds up to the potential difference of the power source.
3
Q
What is the rule for resistance in a series circuit?
A
Resistance adds up
4
Q
What is the rule for current in a parallel circuit?
A
Current splits across the branches.
5
Q
What is the rule for potential difference in a parallel circuit?
A
Potential difference is the same across each branch.
6
Q
What is the rule for resistance in a parallel circuit?
A
The total resistance is less than the lowest value resistor.
