What is constant in a parrallel circuit?
The potential difference across each branch is identical.
What is the source of the electrons in a circuit?
The source of electrons in a circuit is supplied by an electric potential difference across two points . This potential difference in a circuit is called as voltage and is measured in joules per coulomb or volts.
Is the sum of the potential differences equal to the voltage applied across them?
Yes for a closed circuit
What is the potential difference in electricity?
The potential difference in electricity is the Electromagnetic Force, in Volts, measured across the two wires that make the circuit.
What type of current has steady potential difference across a circuit?
That would be DC or Direct Current.
What type of meter would be connected on both sides of a resistor in a circuit?
ammeter in series at any side as required since it is bilateral and voltmeter is connected in parallel to measure voltage drop across it
Does an ammeter measure current?
An ammeter measures the amount of current flowing through an electrical circuit. It measures amperage.
What are basic principle of a series circuit?
The same current passes through all the devices, and the sum of the potential differences across the devices is equal to the terminal potential difference across the power supply.
How do you connect a voltmeter in parallel circuit?
A voltmeter is used to measure potential difference across two points in an electrical circuit . The voltmeter is connected in parallel across the circuit element (resistance ) so that its inclusion in the circuit has negligible effect on total resistance and current flowing in yhe circuit A voltmeter has high resistance,if connected in series it will increase of circuit and reduce the current in the circuit
What is required for current to flow through an electrical current?
Potential Source connected across a Closed Circuit Path.
How does voltage produce current?
Voltage across two terminals mean there exists a potential difference, and when the circuit gets closed, due to this potential difference the current flow.
Is the potential difference across an electric circuit with no element drawing current from it the same at every pt?
there should not be any diff.because
