How to find the total current in a series circuit


Asked by admin @ in Engineering viewed by 287 People


Identify each statement as referring to a series or parallel circuit.

1. Current through each resistor depends on the resistance of the resistor.
2. Total current through the circuit is equal to the sum of the current through each resistor.
3. Total voltage of the battery is equal to the sum of the voltages across each resistor.
4. Voltage across each resistor depends on the resistance of the resistor.
5. Voltage is the same across each resistor.
6. Power is the same in each resistor.

Answer:

1. Parallel circuit

2. Parallel circuit

3. Series circuit

4. Series circuit

5. Parallel circuit

6. Parallel circuit

Explanation:

1. In a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths for current to flow. The path each current takes depends on the resistance of the resistors on that path.

2. In a parallel circuit, current splits up into various paths to get the total current through the circuit, the current flow through each resistor is added.

3. In a series circuit the voltage across each resistor is not the same. to get back the total voltage, the voltages across each resistor needs to be added.

4. Series circuits have voltage drops across each resistor. this makes the voltage across each resistor depend on the resistance of the resistor.

5. In parallel circuits voltage is the same across each resistor because they are all connected directly to the same source.

6. In parallel circuits, the power is the same in each resistor of equal resistance since the voltage across each resistor is the same
