For the combination circuit, explain the relationship between the current output at the battery and the current through each bulb in the parallel circuit. The voltage at the output is going to be 100% of the battery's voltage and the voltage at the the two light bulbs will be the same as well.ħ. For the combination circuit, explain the relationship between the voltage output at the interface and the voltage across the two light bulbs. Bulbs' current will each be individually dependent on the volts divided by the resistance of the bulb and/or any resistance which comes shortly before the volts would reach the bulb.Ħ. Explain the relationship between current at the battery and current through each bulb in the parallel circuit.Ĭurrent at the battery will total the currents of all the bulbs that are switched on.
Each bulb will individually have the same voltage and its current will be affected by any resistance preceding the bulb.ĥ. Voltage at the battery will total the battery's voltage. Explain the relationship between voltage at the battery and voltage across each bulb in a parallel circuit.

In a series circuit, explain the relationship between the current at the battery and each bulb in the circuit.Ĭurrent at the battery will be the total of the entire circuit's different bulbs' individual currents added together, while the current at each bulb in the circuit will vary based on any ohms present before the bulbs or present in the bulbs themselves.Ĥ. The voltage across each bulb in a series circuit will be the same across each bulb, but the current flow will be affected based on any ohms that may be present.ģ. The voltage output at the battery is going to be 100% of whatever the battery's voltage is.
Explain the difference between the voltage output at the battery and the voltage across each bulb in the series circuit. In a parallel circuit, a bulb can be removed as the circuit's power source can go through many wires to reach many different bulbs, eliminating the domino effect of a series circuit.Ģ. If one bulb is to be removed, all other bulbs will go out. Explain the primary difference between a series and a parallel circuit.Ī series circuit acts like a straight line, or has a domino effect. Electrical circuits provide an uninterrupted path for current travel and are broken into two distinct categories of design: series circuits and parallel circuits.ġ. Electrical circuits consist of the following components: an energy source to provide voltage, conductors to allow current travel, insulators to limit current travel, and a load. Understanding the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance allows engineers to design efficient, safe, and functional electrical circuits. Resistance is the opposition to the flow of current. Voltage is the amount of work required to move a charge from one point to another. Current is the net transfer of electric charge per unit of time.
Regardless of the conversion process, electrical energy consists of three basic components: current, voltage, and resistance. Electrical energy, depending on geographic location, is converted from mechanical energy, chemical energy, light energy, and thermo energy before it reaches the consumer. Today’s consumer utilizes electrical energy in all aspects of life, from cell phones and computers to refrigeration and heating and cooling systems, and even transportation. In the 21 st century, electrical energy production, distribution, and application have become consumer driven. Since the late 1800s, engineers have designed systems to utilize electrical energy due to its ability to be converted, stored, transmitted, and reconverted efficiently into other forms of energy.
