Chapter 23 Series & Parallel Circuits
Series Circuit • A circuit with only one path
Parallel Circuit • A circuit with several paths for current flow
Series Circuit • The current is constant • I = constant
Parallel Circuit • The voltage is constant • V = constant
Series Circuit • The voltage drop is the sum of individual voltage drops • VT = V 1 + V 2 + V 3
Parallel Circuit • The total current is the sum of the currents for each path • IT = I 1 + I 2 + I 3
Series Circuit • The total resistance is the sum of individual reisitances • RT = R 1 + R 2 + R 3
Series Circuit • The current = voltage over the sum of individual resistances • I = V/(R 1 + R 2 + R 3 )
Parallel Circuit • 1/RT = 1/R 1 + 1/R 2 etc
Ammeter • A device with tiny resistance that measures current in any part of a circuit
Ammeter • Must be places in series with the circuit to measure the current.
Volt Meter • A device with tiny resistance that measures voltage in any part of a circuit
Volt Meter • Must be places parallel with the circuit to measure the voltage.
Fuse • A fuse or circuit breaker protects against dangerously high current
Ground-fault Interrupter • Opens a circuit where a shock hazard exists
Short Circuit • A circuit with very low resistance
