Also series circuit the current that flows through each component is the same. 
2) I=V divided by R
3) A Resistor is the resistance in a current while a capacitor represents the amount of capacitance in a circuit. 
5)If the resistor was weak then the light is brighter, but if the resistor is strong then the light is dimmer.  
6) In Ohm's Law the R stands for resistance, the V stands for voltage, as R increases the brightness decreases and as E decreases the brightness increases. This is like when the denominator of a fraction is big the number becomes small and when the numerator is small then the number is bigger.

A parallel circuit does not have one pathway for the voltage to travel, and therefore the voltage travels faster and through two pathways.
2) Ohm's Law states that current across two points is proportional to the voltage across two points.
3) Capacitors are not resistors and store energy in an electric field. They have varying behavior based on timing. They are made from closely placed capacitors and store electrical energy. Resistors can only decrease circuit voltages compared to capacitors who increase voltage. Diodes are electrical components that conduct current in one direction only, from anode to cathode. Diodes can be used as passive switches to conduct positive voltages along one path and negative voltages along another.
5) When you increase the resistance, the brightness of the bulb goes down. When the resistance is decreased, then the brightness increases. Ohm's law is potential difference over resistance, so if you increase the resistance the current decreases.]]> 2017-05-12 22:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tec430/idhfda75144u/wish/171585888 https://padlet.com/tec430/idhfda75144u/wish/171585908 1.) The main difference between a series and parallel circuit is that 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; however, 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.

3.) A resistor has resistance to the passage of an electric current. A capacitor stores an electric charge. A diode allows the flow of electric current in one direction only.

5.) The brightness stayed the same when we changed the level of resistance.

Series circuits have a single pathway of flow for the charge because the components are connected in a single line, while parallel circuits have branches where the current is split with one voltage across all the components.
2. I = V/R
3. A Resistor is the resistance in a current, or how the flow of the current is opposed. A capacitor represents the amount of capacitance in a circuit, or the ability to store a charge. Diodes all an electrical current to pass in only one direction since it has two terminals of opposite charge.

5. Brightness depends on the power of the resistor, so if the resistor is high in power, the light is brighter, meaning the relationship is directly proportional. 
6. Ohm's law is the mathematical relationship between current (I), resistance (R), and voltage (V). All three can be calculated if two variables are known and the formula is rearranged. So as R increased, the current decreased, causing the light to be dimmer. This can be explained by the idea that 1/10 is larger than 1/100.

5. The  brightness depends on the power of the resistor. The higher the power, the brighter the bulb.
6. A law relating the voltage difference between two points, the electric current flowing between them, and the resistance of the path of the current. Mathematically, the law states that V = IR, where V is the voltage difference, I is the current in amperes, and R is the resistance in ohms.]]> 2017-05-12 22:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/tec430/idhfda75144u/wish/171585973 https://padlet.com/tec430/idhfda75144u/wish/171586003 1)In a series circuit there is one flow that the energy takes where as on a parallel circuit there are two separate paths that energy goes through but also occur at the same time then come back together later.

3) A resistor gives off an amount of resistance in a circuit. A capacito]]> 2017-05-12 22:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tec430/idhfda75144u/wish/171586003 https://padlet.com/tec430/idhfda75144u/wish/171586007 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.  A resistor represents a given amount of resistance in a circuit. Resistance is a measure of how the flow of electric current is opposed or "resisted." It is defined by Ohm's law which says the resistance equals the voltage divided by the current. The capacitor and inductor are both electrical components used to oppose changes in current in the electrical and electronic circuits. These components are passive element’s, which draw power from the store, circuit, and then discharge. When a suitable voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photos.

5. Brightness changes when you add resistors (more resistors = more dim).

A series circuit only has one pathway for the current to flow through. This means the current does not have a choice in where to move. A parallel circuit has two or more paths for the energy to flow through. This means the energy has can chose the path of least resistance so the resistor in a parallel circuit has more control over the brightness of the light. 
2. Ohm's law is current=potential difference/resistor. 
3. A resistor is a unit that does not actively do anything to your current  but allows you to control the amount of voltage inn the circuit. A capacitor is a unit that be charged and it releases energy to continue to power the light after the circuit as been broken. A diode-an example would be an LED- is a semiconductor device that usually allows the current to flow only in one direction. In our circuit, this meant that the light did not work if the positive end of the light was not facing the same direction as the positive end of the battery. They vary in the control on how the current goes through the circuit.
5. Brightness varies on the power of the resistor. If the resistor has high power, it has bright light.
6.  Ohm's law is:
Change of V (potential electric difference) = I (product of the current between two points)* R(total resistance of all electronic devices). As R increases I decreases and this causes a decrease in the overall brightness.
