9.1 Series and Parallel Circuits Pg. 306 People here have multiple paths to follow Series Circuits • Voltage decreases as electrons pass through each load • Voltages across each of the loads adds up to the voltage supplied by the source. • There’s only one path to follow • Current is constant throughout the circuit • Resistance of resistors increases when in series - like more speed bumps in a row Parallel Circuits • Voltage is the same across each load • There’s more than one path to follow • Current varies between each pathway, depending on the resistance of the path, but still adds to the total current supplied by the source. • Resistance decreases with each added resistor • New pathway created thus lowering the total resistance • Junction point is where a circuit divides into multiple paths – The total current entering a junction point must equal the sum of the current leaving the junction point Find the unknown Voltage (V) and the Current (A) in each of the following circuit diagrams. Voltage = 10.0 V Current = 3.0 A Voltage = 12.0 V Current = 4.0 A COMPARING SERIES & PARALLEL CIRCUITS SERIES CIRCUIT PARALLEL CIRCUIT # of paths electricity can follow One More than one Current throughout the circuit Equal Lower between junction points Voltage of loads in the circuit Can vary All the same Effect of adding a second resistor on total resistance Increases Decreases Effect of adding a second resistor on current Decreases Increases DRAWING PARALLEL & SERIES CIRCUITS •Draw a circuit diagram consisting of a 9.0 V battery, an ammeter, and a 25 resistor in series.
