What is total voltage in a series circuits?

In a series circuit the total voltage is the sum of the voltage drops across all the component in series. When the voltage drops across each the individual components are added up, they will equal the supply (or applied) voltage.


Can superposition theorem be applied to nonlinear circuit?

No, superposition theorem can only be applied to linear circuits. Nonlinear circuits do not obey the principle of superposition because the relationship between current and voltage is not linear.


What are the 2 kind of circuit?

The two basic circuit types are series circuits and parallel circuits. In a series circuit, all the current flows through each component, and each one drops some of the applied voltage. In a parallel circuit, the applied voltage is dropped across each parallel component and current "splits" so some flows through each component.


What does the v vs i graph represent in the context of electrical circuits?

The v vs i graph in electrical circuits represents the relationship between voltage (v) and current (i) flowing through the circuit. It shows how the current changes with respect to the voltage applied across the circuit components.


If you add the IR drop or voltage drop of each individual resistance in a series circuit is it equal to the applied voltage?

Yes


What limits the current that flows through a circuit for a particular appllied DC voltage?

The voltage applied and the resistance across it.


Is voltage the same in parallel circuits?

No, voltage is not the same in parallel circuits. Voltage is constant across components in a series circuit, but in a parallel circuit, each component has the same voltage as the power source.


What is the definition of applied voltage?

Any voltage that is fed into or "applied" to an electrical circuit is referred to as an "applied voltage".


How do series circuits use current and voltage?

In a series circuit, the current remains constant throughout the circuit, as there is only one path for it to flow. The voltage is shared among the components in the circuit, with the total voltage being equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops across each component.


What happens to a parallel circuit resistance if the voltage applied is doubled?

In a parallel circuit, the total resistance remains the same when the voltage applied is doubled. Each branch in the parallel circuit will experience the same increase in voltage, but their individual resistances will remain constant.


What is the applied voltage to a resistive capacitive circuit?

this is the amount of voltage a circuit can hold.


What is the relationship between the voltage applied to a circuit and the velocity of electrons within that circuit?

The relationship between the voltage applied to a circuit and the velocity of electrons within that circuit is direct. When a higher voltage is applied to a circuit, the electrons within the circuit move faster, resulting in an increase in their velocity.
