Circuits

Question 1

When an EMF moves electrons through a resistance some of the EMF is used up, what is this called?

Answer 1

Voltage drop across the resistance

Question 2

In a SERIES circuit what happens to the current and Voltage?

Answer 2

• The current remains constant
• The Voltage changes

Question 3

True or false? The current though all components connected in parallel is always the same.

Answer 3

False. (The current is shared between the branches of a parallel circuit. The potential difference across all components connected in parallel is the same.)
