Question 1.
Define a series circuit.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how the components are arranged.
Question 2.
What is a advantage of parallel circuits?
Show hintHide hint
Think about reliability.
3Question 3.
What happens to the current in a series circuit?
- It splits
- It stays constant
- It increases
Show hintHide hint
Think about the definition of a series circuit.
4Question 4.
True or False: In a parallel circuit, if one component fails, the others stop working.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the characteristics of parallel circuits.
Question 5.
You have a circuit with three resistors in a series, R1 = 5Ω, R2 = 10Ω, and R3 = 15Ω. If the circuit has a voltage of 30V, calculate the total current flowing in the circuit.
Show hintHide hint
Use Ohm's law to find the current after calculating total resistance.
Question 6.
A combination circuit consists of two resistors in series (R1=6Ω, R2=2Ω) and a parallel connection with another resistor R3=4Ω. What is the total resistance of the circuit?
Show hintHide hint
Calculate the equivalent resistance for the parallel section and then combine with the series.
