In a series circuit why does the largest voltage drop occur across the largest or smallest resistor?
It doesn't. In a series circuit, the largest voltage drop occurs across the largest resistor; the smallest voltage drop occurs across the smallest resistor.
Which uses more energy parallel circuit or a series circuit?
That depends. For example, if the circuit is consisted of two resistors, 2 ohms each, the equivalent resistance (Req) of these two resistors in series is 4 ohms, and the Req of these two resistors in parallel is 1 ohm. If the same voltage is applied, say 4 V.power consumed in a resistance = V2/R.The parallel circuit: Power = 4 * 4 / 1 = 16 [W].The series circuit: Power = 4 * 4 / 4 = 4 [W].With everything else the same, a parallel circuit consumes more energy than a series circuit.Note that circuits of only simple resistors are discussed. You need to consider each circuit on its merit.================================AnswerIt depends. In both cases, the total energy expended will be the sum of the energies expended by each individual load.
How can you identify the branch parallel circuit with the what will have the least amount of current flow?
In a DC circuit, it's the branch with the largest resistance. In an AC circuit, it's the branch with the largest magnitude of impedance.
Is resistance in a series circuit equal to the largest resistor in the series?
No. The resistance in a series circuit is all the resistor values added together. eg. If two resistors were in a circuit, one was 10 ohms and the other was 30 ohms, the resistance in the circuit would be 30 ohms. Hope this helps!
What arrangement of three cells would result in the greatest electric current?
I haven't studied this for awhile, but... I assume by cell, you mean a voltage supply, like a battery. It depends on what else is in the circuit. If your circuit has a typical amount of resistance, then connecting the cells in series (as opposed to in parallel) will result in the largest voltage. Higher voltage means greater current across a resistor. However, if the resistance of the circuit is very low (like in a short circuit), then your batteries' own internal resistance may be the most significant factor, and batteries arranged in parallel may be able to sustain a higher current.
