In a series circuit the current through each component is the same and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of voltage of each component. Parallel circuit is the opposite.
2. I = V / R
3. Resistors place a resistance in charge. They are smaller and have wires going through the center component. Capacitors oppose changes in current. They are usually fatter and cylindrical with wires both going up into the component. Diodes block current from flowing in certain directions. Diodes are smaller to resistors but have a smoother component with sides labeled for charge.
4&5. The greater the resistance the greater the dimness of the LED.
6. V = R * I so if the resistance is greater, the voltage output is decreased emitting less energy to power the LED.]]> 2017-05-12 15:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171513937 https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171514030 1) A parallel circuit is when the current splits into equal proportions. A series circuit is when the current travels in the same direction and does not split. 
2)V= I x R 
3)A resistor is something that is used to slow down the flow of electrons. A capacitors is used to hold electrons. And a diode is to push charges in one direction only. 
4)On a light, there is an arrow sign. This would show the direction of how the charge should flow. The positive and negative signs show which direction the light will work in. This is because they current only works in one way. If we switch it around then the light will not light up. 
5&6)Brightness is changed because the amount of resistance can slow down the amount of current going through. Since the voltage is the product of resistance and amps. If it is a lower resistance then brightness increases. ]]> 2017-05-12 15:25:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171514030 https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171514092 1) In a series circuit, the current through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each component. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents through each component.
2) I = /\V/R
3) Resistors resist charge while capacitors store the charge and diodes allow the electrons to flow in one direction
4) We did this in class
5) If the resistor is stronger, the bulb will be dimmer.
6) R increases, meaning I (current) will decrease (brightness is dimmer). This also works vice-versa, seeing as to how when R decreases, I increases creating a brighter bulb.]]> 2017-05-12 15:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171514092 https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171514784 1. In a series, there's only one flow for the electrons and it flows counter-clockwise. A parallel circuit creates more than one continuous path for electrons to flow.
2. Ohm's Law: I=deltaV/R
3. Resistors create resistance to the flow of electrons, capacitors store electrical charge, and diodes are semiconductors that only allow electrons to flow in one direction.
4. The battery is connected to a 1 Ohm resistor, which is connected to a diode, which is connected to the battery to form a series circuit.
5. If you increase resistance, the brightness decreases. If you decrease resistance, brightness increases.
6. Since R is increased, that means that the Current, I, will decrease which will be displayed by a decrease in brightness. Similarly, if R is decreased, I will increase, which represents a brighter diode.]]> 2017-05-12 15:27:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171514784 https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171515188 1) In a series circut, the flow of charge runs through each component sequencially, but in a parallel circut, the voltage is the same for each component.
2) I=(deltaV)/R
I: Current (amps)
V: Voltage (Volts)
R: Resistance (Ohms)
3) A resistor resists a charge from flowing across it, a capacitor stores a charge, and a diode is a component which only allows a flow of electricity in one direction.
5) The higher the resistance, the dimmer the LED.
6) This is because the resistance allows less current to flow through the LED, making it less bright.]]> 2017-05-12 15:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171515188 https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171515489 1) A Series circuit runs in a straight line, while a parallel circuit has multiple currents running in sequence.
2) Ohm's law is R = (delta)V/I  to calculate resistance.
3) A resistor lowers a charge flowing through it and looks like Wonder woman.  A capacitor stores a charge and often looks like a vertical cylinder or disk. A diode keeps current flowing in one direction and looks like a LED some times.
4) We did it.
5)  The brightness increases with the lower resistor.
6) The lower the resistance is the higher the voltage is.]]> 2017-05-12 15:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171515489 https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171516948 1) The difference is a series circuit runs in a straight line, while a parallel circuit has multiple currents running in sequence.
2) I=V/R
3) Resistors have a resistance on the charge. A capacitor is used to store a charge. A diode is a semiconductor device with two terminals.
5) When you have more resistors, it decreases the brightness for the LED. With less resistors, the LED shines brighter.
6) The resistance causes less current flow throughout the system ]]> 2017-05-12 15:35:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171516948 https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171518866 1. A series is system where the energy travels in one direction, while a parallel circuit travels in multiple directions. 
2. I = V/R
3. Resistors resist the charge, while capacitors store the charge, which only move in one direction.
 5. As the resistance is higher, the LED will not be as bright.
6. The voltage is higher with a low resistance.]]> 2017-05-12 15:43:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171518866 https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171521539 1. Parallel circuit is when the current splits into equal proportions. Whereas for  a series the circuit current travels in the same direction without splitting. 
2. V=voltage
I=current 
R=resitance
V=I(R)
3. A resistor slows down the flow of electrons, the capacitor is used to hold the electrons, and the diode directs the electrons to a single direction. 
4. The positive and negative signs shows us the direction of the current. When switched around, it will not work.
5. The brightness lessens based on the amount of the resistance. The greater the resistance the dimmer the light. 
6. R increases-> I decreases the lesser brightness
R decreases-> I increases meaning greater brightness ]]> 2017-05-12 15:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171521539 https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171594855 1. A series circut is when a charge flow continuously through each part of the circuit. A parallel circuit is when the charge gets split into two parts and can still transfer its charge even if one path is disconnected. 
2. R= resistance
V = voltage
I= current
Equation = deltaV / R
3. A resistor reduces charge from flowing through out the circuit. A capacitor is used to store the engery from the charge. A diode allows the flow of electricity to flow continuously. 
5. The brightness depends on how much resistance there is, so if the resistance is too high then the light will be dimmer and vice versa. 
6. The amount if voltage a circuit has depend on high or low the resistance is. If the resistance is low then it will have a higher voltage, resulting in (I)]]> 2017-05-13 03:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tec430/a0lh9nzgb833/wish/171594855
