Circuts 156 Week4

All Circuts RAD 156 (Week4)

QuestionAnswer
What is a Circuit? A complete loop through which electric current can flow
All circuit elements are wired along a single conductor Series Circuit
Circuit elements “bridge” or branch across a conductor Parallel Circuit
Total resistance _______ as more components are added in a series circuit Increases
In a Series Circuit ________stays the same throughout a series circuit Current
In a series circuit,_________ is required to push the same current through the increased resistance More Voltage
Series Circuit Advantages • Simple design and inexpensive to build • Requires fewer wires
Series Circuit Disadvantages Failure of a single element = failure of circuit
Total Voltage in a Series Circuit = Sum of voltage required for each component
Total Resistance in a Series Circuit = Sum of each individual resistor
In a Parallel Circuit, _______ stays the same throughout Voltage
Total resistance _______ as more components are added in a parallel circuit Decreases and Current increases
Parallel Circuit Advantages • Lower voltage required • Failure of a single element ≠ failure of circuit
Parallel Circuit Disadventages • Requires more wires • Adding elements/branches increases amps • Requires safeguards • Greater chance of overload
Current in a Parallel Circuit = Sum of current for each part
_______ is always less than the smallest individual resistor in a parallel circuit Total Resistance
Adding Fractions requires a _______ Common Denominator
When Adding Fractions, ________ The denominator stays the same and you add the numerators
Series Circuit is a Single Path
Parallel Circuit is Multiple Paths
Some circuit elements _________ in a Parallel Circuit Bridge or branch across a conductor
All circuit elements are _________ in a Series Circuit Connected in one line, one after another
_____ Wire Increases Resistance Longer
_____ Wire Decreases Resistance Shorter
____ Area Increases Resistance Smaller
____ Area Decreases Resistance Larger
_____ Temperature Increases Resistance Higher
_____ Temperature Decreases Resistance Lower

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
