Front

Describe a parallel circuit:

Back

Multiple paths for electron flow

Front

A type of circuit that only has one path for electrons to flow through the devices wired in the circuit.

Back

series

Front

The voltage in a ________ circuit is ________ the source voltage.

Back

parallel, equal to

Front

If two or more components are connected to the source in parallel, the voltage drop across each component is ________ the source voltage

Back

equal

Front

The total ______ is equal to any individual _____ drop in the parallel circuit.

Back

voltage

Front

Kirchhoff’s current law states that the algebraic sum of ______ currents entering any point will equal ____ the currents leaving that point.

Back

all

Front

______ current law states that the algebraic sum of all currents entering any point will equal the sum of all currents leaving that point.

Back

Kirchhoff's

Front

__________ states that the voltage or potential difference between two points is directly proportional to the current or electricity passing through the resistance, and directly proportional to the resistance of the circuit.

Back

Ohm's Law

Front

__________ describes the relationship between power, voltage, and current in an electrical circuit. It states that power (P) is equal to the product of voltage (V) and current (I), expressed as P = V * I

Back

Watt's Law

Front

The total _______ in a parallel circuit is equal to the sum of the individual __________ caused by each individual resistance.

Back

current
