Resource summary
Series and Parallel Circuits
series circuits
the same current passes through components in series with each other
the total potential difference of the voltage supply in a series circuit is shared between the components
the total potential difference of cells in a series is the sum of the potential difference of each cell
for cells in series acting in the same direction the total pd is the sum of their individual pds
the total resistance of components in series is equal to the sum of resistance of each component
adding the resistances gives the total resistance of resistors in series
parallel circuits
for components in parallel
the total current is the sum of the currents through the separate components
the bigger the resistance of a component, the smaller the current is
the potential difference is the same across each component
to calculate the current through a resistor in a parallel circuit:
