10 Questions
In a series connection of components, what can be said about the electric current through each component?
The electric current through each component is the same.
What is the relationship between the voltage across the network and the voltages across components in a series connection?
The voltage across the network is equal to the sum of the voltages across each component.
What can be said about the voltage across each component in a parallel connection?
The voltage across each component is the same.
What is the relationship between the current through the network and the currents through components in a parallel connection?
The current through the network is equal to the sum of the currents through each component.
What is the perspective adopted in the article when referring to two-terminal objects participating in series/parallel networks?
Using 'component' to refer to two-terminal objects.
In a series connection of components, what is the relationship between the voltage across the network and the voltages across each component?
The voltage across the network is equal to the sum of the voltages across each component. In mathematical terms, if V_net is the voltage across the network and V_1, V_2, ..., V_n are the voltages across each component, then V_net = V_1 + V_2 + ... + V_n.
In a parallel connection of components, what is the relationship between the current through the network and the currents through each component?
The current through the network is equal to the sum of the currents through each component. In mathematical terms, if I_net is the current through the network and I_1, I_2, ..., I_n are the currents through each component, then I_net = I_1 + I_2 + ... + I_n.
What is the perspective adopted in the article when referring to two-terminal objects participating in series/parallel networks?
The article adopts the perspective of using 'component' to refer to a two-terminal 'object' that participates in the series/parallel networks, regardless of whether it is an electrical component or an electrical network.
What can be said about the electric current through each component in a series connection?
In a series connection, each component has the same electric current through it, equal to the current through the network.
What can be said about the voltage across each component in a parallel connection?
In a parallel connection, each component has the same voltage across it, equal to the voltage across the network.
