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

• 3 kΩ
• 10 kΩ
• 13 kΩ
• 16 kΩ

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

• 50 Ω
• 100 Ω
• 300 Ω
• 450 Ω

What is the total current through this circuit? 

• 0.01 A
• 0.02 A
• 0.03 A
• 0.05 A

If the total current (I_total) is measured to be 0.02 A, What is the voltage drop measured at R₁?

• 2 V
• 3 V
• 5 V
• 9 V

As resistors are added in series to a circuit, the total resistance will

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same

As the resistance of a circuit increases, the current will

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same

The current through each resistor connected in series

• will add up to the total current
• is the same everywhere
  

• Series circuit - Bulbs are lit
• Series circuit - Bulbs are off
• Parallel circuit - Bulbs are lit
• Parallel circuit - Bulbs are off

This circuit does not work because…

• the bulbs are not connected properly
• the single cell is not powerful enough
• there is a break in the circuit
• there is a short crcuit
