Current in a Parallel CircuitAgainNextThe current in a parallel
circuit splits up at a junction JHU 2005
Voltage ExplainedAgainNextThe soldier picks up energy (mars
bars) at the batteryThe soldier uses the energy to get past the
componentThe soldier must use all his energy in the circuitThe
difference between the number of mars bars before and after the
component is called the potential difference JHU 2005
Voltage ExplainedAgainNextElectrons pick up electrical energy
measured in volts at the batteryThe electrons transfer energy to
another form at the bulbAll the volts of energy are transferred
within the circuitThe difference between the volts carried before
and after the component is called the potential differenceNext JHU
