D.C. Circuits

Question 1

How does current flow in series?

Answer 1

The current flows along a single path

Question 2

How does current flow in parallel?

Answer 2

The current flow is branched into more than one path

Question 3

How do you calculate the current in a series circuit?

Answer 3

Current delivered by battery is equal to current passing through each resistor.
Current in battery = I1 = 12

Question 4

What is the voltage across each resistor in a series circuit?

Answer 4

Voltage of battery = V1 + V2

Question 5

Additional formula for series and parallel circuit

Answer 5

Voltage of battery = current of battery X Rnet

Question 6

How do you calculate current in parallel circuit?

Answer 6

Current in battery = I1 + I2

Question 7

What is the voltage across battery?

Answer 7

Voltage of battery = V1 = V2
