Series circuits

One loop: the same current everywhere, the supply p.d. shared out, and resistances that add.

You will be able to

  • State the rules for current, p.d. and resistance in series
  • Calculate the total resistance and the current in a series circuit
  • Work out how the p.d. is shared between components

20 minutes, 6 exam-style questions, with the Series and parallel circuits simulation.
