Quick questions on Series and parallel circuits: current, voltage and combining resistors - Eduqas GCSE Electronics
5short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What are series circuits?Show answer
A larger resistor in a series chain takes a larger share of the voltage, because the same current through a bigger resistance produces a bigger .
What are parallel circuits?Show answer
Adding more parallel branches gives the current more paths, so the total current rises and the combined resistance falls.
What is q1?Show answer
Two resistors are in series. State what is the same through both and what is shared between them. [2 marks]
What is q2?Show answer
Find the combined resistance of and in parallel. [2 marks]
What is q3?Show answer
A and a resistor are in series. Find the total resistance. [1 mark]
