Combined Science GCSE
Using R_eq with V = I × R
What Using R_eq with V = I × R means in Combined Science GCSE, as defined for AQA.
Definition of Using R_eq with V = I × R
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Using R_eq with V = I × R in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: AQA
Once R_eq is known, the circuit behaves as one resistor, so I = V_supply ÷ R_eq gives the current through every component.
