Additional Physics-Parallel circuits

?
Parallel circuits mean?
Independence and isolation
1 of 16
In parallel circuits , each component is separately connected to?
the +ve and -ve of the supply
2 of 16
If you remove or disconnect one of them , it will hardly effect?
the others at all
3 of 16
This is obviously how most things must be connected , for example?
in cars and in house hold electrics , you have to be able to switch everything on and off seperatly
4 of 16
PD is the same across all?
components
5 of 16
In parallel circuits all components get the full source PD so?
the voltage is the same across all components
6 of 16
Formula?
v1=v2=v3
7 of 16
This means?
that identical bulbs connected in parallel will all be at same brightness
8 of 16
Current is shared between branches-in parallel circuits the total current flowing around the circuit is equal to?
the total of all currents through the separate components
9 of 16
Formula?
A=A1+A2+...
10 of 16
In a parallel circuit , there are junctions where the current either?
splits or rejoins
11 of 16
The total current is going into a junction has to ?
equal the total current leaving
12 of 16
If two identical components are connected in parallel the the same current will?
flow through each component
13 of 16
Ammeters and voltmeters are exceptions to?
the series and parallel rules
14 of 16
Ammeters are always connected in?
series even in parallel circuits
15 of 16
Voltmeters are always connected in?
parallel with a component even in series circuit
