- series circuits
- one big loop
- potential difference (P.D)
- SHARED
- various components
- add them all up to find total
- V=V1+V2
- SHARED
- current
- SAME EVERYWHERE
- all components
- size determined
- total P.D of cells and total resistance of circuit
- I=V/R
- all components get same current
- total P.D of cells and total resistance of circuit
- A1=A2=A3
- doesn't add up
- 2A x 2 = 2A
- SAME EVERYWHERE
- resistance
- ADDS UP
- the bigger the resistance
- bigger its share of P.D
- more work is done by charge
- bigger its share of P.D
- variable resistor/light-dependant resistor/ thermistor
- P.D across all components will change
- R=R1+R2+R3
- voltage
- ADDS UP
- connect several cells
- the same way ( + to - )
- bigger total voltage
- each charge in circuit passes through all cells
- gets a 'push' from each cell
- 2 x 1.5V = 3V in total (example)
