Voltage

Front

Classify the following as electrical conductors or insulators: rubber, aluminum foil, glass.

Back

Aluminum foil is a conductor. Rubber and glass are insulators.

Which is NOT true of a parallel circuit?

Back

When one bulb is broken in a parallel circuit, the circuit will no longer allow electrons to flow.

Front

Which is true of a series circuit?

Back

When one bulb is broken in a series circuit, the circuit will no longer allow electrons to flow since there is only 1 path.

Front

In the circuit shown below, when the switch is closed, all of the light bulbs are lit. Which light bulbs will remain lit when the switch is opened?

Back

Only Bulb 1 will remain lit.

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed loop of conductors through which an electrical current can flow.

Front

A hair salon uses 1800 Watt hair dryers plugged into 120 V outlets. The salon has circuit breakers that trip if the current in the circuit exceeds 30 Amps. How many hair dryers can be used at the same time if they are plugged into the same circuit? (P=IV)

Back

2 hair dryers

Front

Which statement does not characterize electrical conductors?

Back

Conductors have tightly bound outer electrons.
