What happens to a light bulb if you increase the total voltage in a circuit?

Back

The bulb will get brighter.

Front

What is resistance measured in?

Back

Ω (Ohms)

Front

What is current measured in?

Back

A (Amps)

Front

How is a parallel circuit different from a series circuit?

Back

It has multiple paths for the current to follow.

Front

What are the two types of circuits called?

Back

Series & Parallel

Front

What is voltage?

Back

The electric potential difference between two points in a circuit.

Front

What is the formula for calculating resistance in a circuit?

Back

R = V / I (Resistance = Voltage / Current)

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected end-to-end, so the current flows through each component.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected across common points, providing multiple paths for current.

Front

What happens to the total resistance in a series circuit when more resistors are added?

Back

The total resistance increases.
