Front-side Reverse-side
CURRENT
In a PARLLEL circuit
The current will be different for each component in the PARALLEL
[memory] like a river at each split it gets smaller
CURRENT
In a SERIES circuit
The current will be the same for each Component in the SERIES.
[memory] series is like a river, flow doesnt change for pebbles
PARALLEL CIRCUIT Current = Different
Voltage = Same
[memory] [P]otential Difference is the same in a [P]arallel
RESISTANCE
In a SERIES circuit.
Resistors in SERIES have the same current but have a different voltage
FORMULA:
R1 + R2
RESISTANCE
In a PARALLEL circuit
Resistors in PARALLEL have a same voltage and have the different current
FORMULA:
1/R1 + 1/R2 +...ect
SERIES CIRCUIT Current = Same
Voltage = Different
[memory] [C]urrent is the [S]ame in a [S]eries [ C]ircuit
VOLTAGE
In a PARALLEL circuit
The Voltage will be the same for each Component in the PARALLEL
[memory] splits are like streets you COULD go down to spend joules
VOLTAGE
In a SERIES circuit
The Voltage will be different for each Component in the SERIES.
[memory] joules are like money, they are spent around circuit so volt changes
DEFINITION
current
Electric current is the flow of charge.
Or the rate of Charge transfered per Second
DEFINITION
emf
The Voltage when the Current is 0.
Or the Energy given to each Coulomb
DEFINITION
voltage
Voltage is the energy per unit of Charge
