Three resistors connected in series carry currents labeled I 1 , I 2 and I 3 respectively. Which of the following expresses the total current, I t , in the system made up of the three resistors in series?

I t = (1I 1 + 1/I 2 + 1/I 3 ) -1

The current flowing in an electric circuit can be increased by:

increasing voltage or decreasing resistance.

decreasing voltage or increasing resistance.

increasing voltage and increasing resistance.

decreasing voltage and decreasing resistance.

An example of a wet cell battery is:

the battery in your flashlight.

In an electric circuit, charges:

do all of these answer choices.

get energy from an external source.

flow from higher potential to lower potential.

When one bulb in a series circuit containing several light bulbs burn out:

none of the other bulbs will light up.

nothing changes in the rest of the circuit.

When resistors are put in parallel with each other their overall resistance is:

smaller than the resistance of any of the resistors.

larger than that of any other resistor.

the same as the resistance of one of the resistors.

As the number of resistors in a parallel circuit is increased, what happens to the equivalent resistance of the circuit and total current in the circuit?

Equivalent resistance and total current increases.

Both equivalent resistance and total current decrease.

Equivalent resistance increases and total current decreases.

A series circuit consists of a switch, a 6.0 V battery and some copper wire. Whenever the circuit is turned on, each of these elements have the same:

potential difference across it.
