Front

What is the definition of a parallel circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of a resistor in a circuit?

Back

To limit the flow of electric current.

Front

What is the difference between series and parallel circuits?

Back

In series circuits, components are connected one after another, while in parallel circuits, components are connected across the same voltage source.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

The relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in a circuit, expressed as V = I × R.

Front

What is the unit of electric current?
