Additional physics-series circuits

?
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
