I can calculate p.d. across one of two components in a series circuit with a battery.
Show transcript
The p.d. across a component in an electric circuit measures the size of push that is moving current through it.
The p.d. across each component in a series circuit adds up to the p.d. across the battery.
The current is the same through every component in a series circuit.
The larger the total resistance of a series circuit, the smaller the current through it.
In a series circuit, the share of p.d. across each component is proportional to its resistance.
