CFESA electrical chapter 2
What happens to current in a parallel circuit? - answer Divides throughout each
resistance
What happens to voltage in a parallel circuit? - answer Its the same across all
components
What happens to voltage in a series circuit? - answer Voltage is shared between
components
What happens to current in a series circuit? - answer The current is the same in all
resistances
In a parallel circuit the total resistance of the circuit will always be less than what
resistance. - answer The smallest resistance
How do you find the total resistance in a parallel circuit? - answer Add the resistances
together
How do you find the total resistance in a series circuit? - answer1/rt= 1/r1 + 1/r2 + 1/r3
If a circuit is wired parallel, and the supply voltage is 120, each lead must be rated at
what voltage? - answer120v
If a circuit has two elements wires in series, and each is rated at 120v, what voltage
must be supplied to the circuit in order for he elements to heat at full power? -
answer240v
