Comparing Resistance, Voltage and Current across Loads in Series and Parallel Circuits ***Recall*** Current (I) is the amount of charge (coulombs) that passes a point at any second. Current is measured in amperes (A). Charge (Q) is measured in coulombs (C) o Example: If there are 10A in a circuit, that means there are 10C of charge passing every second Potential difference (voltage/ V) is the difference in the amount of energy per coulomb of charge, before and after a load (Joules/coulomb = V). Measured in parallel. o Example: If a battery has 10V, then each coulomb that leaves the battery has 10J of energy in it and if a bulb in that circuit has a potential difference of 5V then there is a difference of 5J/coulomb from before it reaches the bulb till after it leaves the bulb. Series Circuits _____________________________________________________________________ Facts About Series Circuits When batteries are connected in series, the electrons that pass through receive the sum of the two electric potentials (voltage) As more loads are added in series, the _____________________________________________ and the _____________________________________________________________________. Batteries in a ____________________________________ than batteries in a similar parallel circuit. Electric loads in a _________________________________ than electric loads in a similar parallel circuit. Parallel Circuits If components of an electric circuit are in different pathways (electrons pass through one circuit or another) the components are said to be in parallel with each other. Facts About Parallel Circuits Electrons that flow through a Battery in parallel only receive the energy (electric potential) of one battery. Therefore _________________________________________ then in a similar series circuit. When electric loads are found in parallel, the electrons have the choice to move through one load or the other. Therefore they do not need to share half their energy with both electric loads. They are able to donate all of their energy to one electric load. Therefore loads in parallel use _____________________ than a similar series circuit.

Homework Questions: 1. Compare the total resistance of loads connected in series with those connected in parallel. 2. What would happen if you connected too many bulbs into a series circuit (voltage and brightness)? 3. The total resistance in the circuit is 25 and the voltage drop is 6.0V. Calculate the current in this series circuit. 4. A parallel circuit has four identical lamps. The potential difference across the energy source is 48V. The total resistance is 12. Calculate the current in each lamp. 5. A series circuit contains four identical lamps. The voltage across the energy source is 96V. Calculate the voltage across each lamp. 6. If the total voltage drop for a parallel circuit with 3 lamps is 120V and the total resistance is 10, calculate the current and the voltage through each lamp. 7. A battery powered set of 4 patio lanterns is connected in series. An ammeter measures the current of the battery at 0.75A. The total resistance of the circuit is 52. What is the voltage drop across the battery? What is the voltage drop across each bulb?
