  • What type of circuit can we see in the picture?
    A parallel circuit
  • In the International System, what is the unit of measurement of energy?
    joules (J)
  • In a series circuit, what is the equivalent resistance equal to?
    The sum of all resistances in the circuit.
  • In a parallel circuit, what is the inverse of the equivalent resistance equal to?
    The sum of the inverses of all resistances in the circuit
  • What type of circuit can we see in the picture?
    A series circuit
  • If a series circuit has resistances of 2, 4, 3, and 4, what is the equivalent resistance?
    13
  • What happens to the brightness of lightbulbs in a parallel circuit when you add more?
    They stay the same
  • What happens to the brightness of lightbulbs in a series circuit when you add more?
    They get dimmer
  • What type of circuit can we see in the picture?
    A series-parallel combination circuit
  • In the International System, what is the unit of measurement for electrical power?
    watts (W)
  • How do we calculate power (P)?
    By multiplying the voltage of each component by the current that flows through it. P = V.I
  • What do we call the phenomenon where a small amount of unwanted electrical energy is always consumed by elements in a circuit?
    The Joules effect
