What is a parallel circuit?
оқуды бастаңыз
A circuit with more than one branch/path for current to flow through
What happens to the current in a parallel circuit?
оқуды бастаңыз
The current splits between the branches
What rule applies at a junction?
оқуды бастаңыз
Total current = total current leaving.
What is the equation for current in parallel circuits?
оқуды бастаңыз
Itotal = I1+I2+I3
What happens to voltage in a parallel circuit?
оқуды бастаңыз
Voltage is the same across every branch
What is the voltage rule for parallel circuit
оқуды бастаңыз
Vtotal=V1=V2=V3
If a battery is 6v, how much voltage does each branch receive in parallel?
оқуды бастаңыз
Each branch receives 6v
What happens when one bulb breaks in a parallel circuit?
оқуды бастаңыз
The other bulb stay on
Why do bulbs stay bright in parallel?
оқуды бастаңыз
Each bulb receives the full battery voltage.
What happens to the total resistance when more branches are added?
оқуды бастаңыз
Total resistance decreases.
Why does resistance decrease in parallel circuits?
оқуды бастаңыз
Because there are more paths for charge to flow
What happens to the total current when resistance decreases?
оқуды бастаңыз
Total current increases
Which equation links voltage, current, resistance?
оқуды бастаңыз
V=IxR
Why are household circuits connected in parallel?
оқуды бастаңыз
So appliances work independently and each gets full voltage.
What happens to current in a branch with higher resistance?
оқуды бастаңыз
Less current flows through it.
What device measures current?
оқуды бастаңыз
An ammeter
How is an ammeter connected?
оқуды бастаңыз
In series
What device measures voltage?
оқуды бастаңыз
A voltmeter.
How is a voltmeter connected?
оқуды бастаңыз
In parallel across a component.
What are the advantages of parallel circuits?
оқуды бастаңыз
Components work independently / full voltage across each branch / one broken component doesn’t stop the others
What are the disadvantages of parallel circuits?
оқуды бастаңыз
More wiring needed / More complicated / battery drains fast
In series or parallel circuits is current the same everywhere?
оқуды бастаңыз
Series circuits only
In series or parallel circuits is voltage the same across components?
оқуды бастаңыз
Parallel circuits only
What is a common exam mistake with parallel circuits?
оқуды бастаңыз
Saying voltage splits between branches
