Four unequal resistors are connected in series with each other. Which one of the following statements is correct about this combination?

The equivalent resistance is more than the largest resistance.

The equivalent resistance is equal to that of any one of the resistors.

The equivalent resistance is equal to average of the four resistances.

The equivalent resistance is less than that of the smallest resistor.

The equivalent resistance is less than that of the largest resistor.

What happens when you add a second bulb to a series circuit?

Both bulbs will be half as bright because the voltage is divided by two now

The second bulb will be as bright as the first because they both get full power

The circuit will no longer work

What is the definition of current?

Force creted by the buildup of charge

What is the definition of voltage?

Force created by the buildup of charge

In order for a circuit to work you need to have

A voltage source and a complete pathway with no breaks in the circuit

A complete pathway with no breaks in the circuit

Why is a bulb brighter when it is powered by two batteries rather than one?

Because the flow of electricity in the circuit is greater

Because the flow of electricity in the circuit is less

Because the flow of electricity in the circuit is the same

Because the flow of electricity will go backward

a measure of the difference in electrical energy between two parts of a circuit.

a measure of how much electric charge flows through a circuit.

a measure of the power within a circuit.

a measure of the resistance to electron flow in a circuit

More voltage means more current

More voltage means more resistance

1 Amp of current is equal to

1 coulomb of charge passing a point every second

The potential difference between both sides of the battery

1 electron passing a point every second

The power company bills you by

The amount of electric energy you use

The amount of electric current you use

The amount of electric power you use

The power of an appliance is...

the amount of energy transferred per second

the amount of voltage going through it

the amount of charge that passes through per second
