Parallel or series circuit? The current in each branch is the same but add together to make the total current of the circuit.
Parallel
Name this instrument that is used to measure the amount of energy released by electrons (volts)
Voltmeter
Name & describe this
Parallel circuits. They have components connected in parallel, on their own branches.
A battery produces a charge-True or False
False-The charge already exists and the battery just pushes it.
If the first ammeter in this series read 3 amps? What would the other 2 read? If I added another component would they change?
3, yes-they would all lower.
The push provided by a battery or a cell is called.....
The Potential Difference
Parallel or series circuit? The current is the same everywhere.
Series
The amount of charge per second is called a....
Current
In relation to the readings on the ammeters-True or False?
A2 + A3 = A1
A1 = A4
True
The problem with circuit series.
If one of the components breaks, the whole circuit is broken and the current stops.
Name this device that measures current.
Ammeter
Name & describe this.
Series circuit. Components connected one after another in series.
