Multiple Choice

This is an example of a _______ circuit

• open
• series
• parallel
• square

Multiple Choice

The picture shows an electrical circuit. This circuit is a series circuit because: 

• It has 3 light bulbs.
• The same current flows through all three light bulbs.
• It uses a single battery.
• The electrical current is divided between the three light bulbs.

Multiple Choice

What is Resistance?

• the degree to which a circuit component opposes the passage of an electric current, causing energy dissipation
• How hard the energy is pushed
• The amount of charges that pass by a given point per second
• None of the above

Multiple Choice

How to you calculate the total resistance in a series circuit?

• R1 + R2+ R3

• R1 - R2 - R3

• 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

• R1 = R2 = R3

Multiple Choice

What is the equivalent or total resistance (R_e) across this circuit?

• 3 kΩ

• 10 kΩ

• 13 kΩ

• 18 kΩ

Multiple Choice

The equivalent resistance in this circuit is 

• 100 ohms
• 450 ohms
• 400 ohms
• 30 ohms

Multiple Choice

How would the equivalent resistance be determined?

• 1 / Req = (1/5) + (1/8) + (1/3) Ω

• 120 Ω

• 1.5189873 Ω

• 1 / Req = (1/5) * (1/8) * (1/3) Ω

Multiple Choice
