1
Q
what is potential difference
A
the energy transfered per coulombe of charge
2
Q
what happens to pd in a series circuit
A
the supply is shared between components
V1 = V2 + V3
3
Q
what happens when components are identical
A
they get an equal share of the pd
4
Q
what happens to current in a series circuit
A
the current is the same at all points
5
