Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected in a single path, so the same current flows through all of them.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected across common points or junctions, allowing multiple paths for current.

Front

What is resistance in a circuit?

Back

The opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

The relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in a circuit, expressed as V = I × R.

Front

What happens to total resistance in a series circuit?

Back

The total resistance is the sum of all individual resistances.
