what does the voltage tell us?
How big a push the electrons are given as they leave the cell or battery.
1 of 6
what is the relationship between voltage and push?
the bigger the voltage the bigger the push
2 of 6
what produces the voltage?
cell/battery/power supply
3 of 6
where is a voltmeter placed in the circuit?
in paralell
4 of 6
what is the sum of the voltage in a series circuit?
the sum of the voltages for each component is equal to the voltage across the cell of battery V1=V2+V3
5 of 6
what is the sum of the voltage in a paralell circuit?
the voltage across the cell is the same as the voltage across each branch V1=V2=V3
