Total voltage = the source.
The voltage around the circuit is divided proportionally by each of the resistances in line.
The current is = the source voltage divided by the sum of all the resistance.

∙ 13y agoThe total voltage is split up amongst the circuit elements, proportional to their resistance. For example, if the total voltage is 5V, and there are two resistances of 2 ohm and 3 ohm, the voltages will also be 2 ohm and 3 ohm.

Meaning or definition of voltage in a parallel circuit?
Voltage is the electrical potential that is produced by a given source (ie, a battery or a generator). The voltage is not changed by the type or number of loads on a circuit. A voltage regulator and/or transformer may change the voltage within a perticular load, but cannot change the complete circuit voltage.
What happens if you add more loads to a series circuit?
When you have multiple loads in a series, the resistance of the loads is added together allowing very little current to flow through the circuit to power any of the loads, making for a low amperage circuit. If you have your loads in parellel, the resistance of the loads in the circuit is subtracted which allows more current to flow, making for a high amperage circuit.
When a switch in an electrical circuit is turned off what will happen?
Closing a switch in an electrical circuit will complete the circuit. The supply voltage will then be applied to that circuit, and current will flow through that circuit.
What is the difference between a series and parallel circuit?
because the series has only one path that electricity flows and parallel circuit has one or more pathways that electricity can flow
Why does voltmeter measure current more accurately than an ammeter?
A voltmeter does not measure current, it measures voltage in units named volts. An ammeter measures current in units named amperes or amps in common shorthand. A voltmeter is connected in parallel to the circuit being measured, whereas an ammeter is connected in series with the circuit being measured.
If voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?
In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.
What happens to the voltage across the voltage source as more light bulbs are added in a series circuit?
Nothing.
What happens to the voltage if batteries if they are setup in a parallel and a series circuit?
Assuming all of the individual batteries are the same voltage, if arranged in a parallel circuit the voltage is the same as any one battery. If arranged in a series circuit the voltage will be the sum (the total) of all of the batteries added together.
How is voltage spread out in series circuit?
By Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, the sum of the voltage drops around the series circuit will equal the voltage applied to the circuit.
Why is voltage split over a series circuit?
Voltage drop due to the resistance present in the series circuit causes voltage split over a series circuit.
When you add a second battery to a series circuit what happens?
Adding a seound battery to a series circuit will increase the voltage, and require less current to keep the lights (if there are any on) as bright. Say you have a 6v battery, then you add another 6v battery. the voltage of the circuit would be 12v
What is voltage error circuit and current error circuit?
A voltage error circuit is called an error amplifier and happens when there are discrepancies between the voltage output and the reference voltage. A current error circuit happens when there is a disruption of flow in an ammeter.
What happens when one bulb is added to a series circuit?
The resistance is increased, the voltage across each bulb is decreased and the current through the circuit is reduced.
When two cells with the same voltage are connected in a series circuit what happens to the voltage?
There is addition of voltage. Dry cells have 1.5 volts irrespective of there size. if the cells are added as same polarity in series it will add if are parallel then voltage remains same
Is Voltage the same all parts of a series circuit?
Voltage is an electrical force or pressure that causes current to flow in a circuit. It is an additive in a series circuit.
What is the voltage of a series circuit with four voltage drops of 30 volts?
there is 120V across the circuit.
What happens to voltage and current in series circuits?
Kirchoff's voltage law states that the signed sums of the voltage drops in a series circuit add up to zero.Kirchoff's current law states that the current everywhere in a series circuit is the same, more specifically, that the signed sums of the currents entering a node is zero.
