Physicsseries circuitsGCSEAQA Created by: nimrahali12Created on: 25-09-16 15:39 In series circuits , the different components are connected in a line, end to end between the +ve and -ve of the power supply except? for voltmeters which are always connected in parallel but they don't count as part of the circuit 1 of 14 If you remove or disconnect one component , the circuit is? broken and they all stop 2 of 14 This is generally not handy and? in practice very few things are connected in series 3 of 14 Potential difference is shared-in series circuit the total PD of the supply is shared between? the various components so the voltages round a series circuit always add up to equal the source voltage 4 of 14 Formula? V=V1 + V2 +... 5 of 14 Current is the same everywhere-in series circuit the same current flows through? all parts of the circuit 6 of 14 formula? A1=A2 7 of 14 The size of the current is determined by? the total PD of the cells and the total resistance of the circuit 8 of 14 For example? I=V/R 9 of 14 Resistant adds up-in series circuits the total resistant is just the sum of? all the resistances 10 of 14 Formula? R=R1+R2+R3 11 of 14 The bigger the resistance of a component , the bigger? its shared of the total PD 12 of 14 Cell voltages add up-there is a bigger pd when? more cells are in series , provided the cells are all connected the same way 13 of 14 For example? When two batteries of voltages 1.5 V are connected in series they supply 3 V between them 14 of 14
