In a series circuit, the total potential difference provided by the power source is divided among the components in the circuit. As current flows through each component, there is a voltage drop across each one. This results in a reduction of potential difference as you move along the circuit.
What else can I help you with?
What is the potential voltage across the circuit components in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, the potential voltage across the circuit components adds up to the total voltage of the circuit.
Why pottential difference across different ends of the conductor is different in the series connection?
In a series circuit, the total potential difference provided by the power source is divided among the resistors. Each component experiences a portion of the total voltage drop based on its own resistance, resulting in different potential differences across each component. This is why the potential difference across different ends of the conductor is different in a series connection.
What is it called when a circuit that has only one path?
Electricity flows where there is a potential difference and some means of discharging that difference. A circuit is the loop of the thing causing the potential difference and the components that allow it to discharge. What seems to be confusing you is that the power source isn't always included in a circuit diagram. If you think in terms of a lighting circuit, the light comes on when the switch is closed. The part of the circuit inside your house only has the mains supply, some power switchgear, the light switch and the light. However, the circuit continues back through the supply cables to the generating station. Break the circuit at any point, in your house, under the street or a wire in the generator, and out goes the light.
How can one determine the potential difference across capacitors in series by finding their equivalent capacitance?
To determine the potential difference across capacitors in series by finding their equivalent capacitance, you can use the formula V Q/C, where V is the potential difference, Q is the charge stored in the capacitors, and C is the equivalent capacitance. By calculating the equivalent capacitance of the capacitors in series, you can then use this formula to find the potential difference across them.
What are the five factors that affect current flow?
The five factors that affect current flow are voltage (potential difference), resistance (opposition to flow), conductive material, temperature (affecting resistance), and circuit configuration (series or parallel).
What happens to the potential difference of a bulb that burns out in series circuit?
The whole circuit fails - because the action of the bulb blowing cuts the circuit.
How is a series circuit different to a parell circuit?
The difference between a series and parallel circuit is that a series circuit is connected in such a way that the same current intensity flows through the elements while a parallel circuit is connected in such a way that the same potential appears across their terminals.
What is the potential voltage across the circuit components in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, the potential voltage across the circuit components adds up to the total voltage of the circuit.
What is the advantage of a parallel circuit over a series circuit.?
In a parallel circuit, all the external resistors are supplied the same potential difference which is not possible in a series circuit. Also in a parallel circuit, every resistor or component can be individually turned on or off without affecting the rest of the circuit.
What is the difference between series and parralal circuit?
difference between series is one pathway through circuit,difference between parralal is more then one pathway through circuit.
What in a series circuit is constant?
Nothing about a series circuit is necessarily constant. You may be thinking of the current, which is the same number at any point in a series circuit. That doesn't mean that it can't change. But if it does change, it'll change at every point, and still be the same number everywhere in the series circuit.
Why pottential difference across different ends of the conductor is different in the series connection?
In a series circuit, the total potential difference provided by the power source is divided among the resistors. Each component experiences a portion of the total voltage drop based on its own resistance, resulting in different potential differences across each component. This is why the potential difference across different ends of the conductor is different in a series connection.
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 can you measure electric potential and electric current?
Potential . . .Always measured as a potential difference between two points.The most practical way to do that is with a voltemeter connectedin parallel with any circuit between the two points.Electric current . . .The most practical way to measure current is with an ammeter connectedin series in the path of the current.
What are differences between series and parallel circuits?
In series circuits current will be the same through out the circuit. So whereever we connect the ammeter the same current is registered. But in parallel circuit current will be different in different lines. In parallel circuits the potential difference will be the same but in series pd will be different.
What is the difference between a series circuit and as parallel circuit?
series circuit can only move on one patha parallel circuit has two more paths for the electric carve to follow
What is a voltage divider circuit?
The voltage divider circuit is a network of two or more components in series, often resistors, between a potential difference. The voltage between the components will be somewhere between the potential difference across the whole network and so divides the total voltage into one or more intermediate voltages.
