What is a key difference between series and parallel circuits?

• Series circuits have a single loop

• Parallel circuits have a single loop

• Series circuits have multiple loops

• Both have multiple loops

What happens if one component in a series circuit fails?

• The circuit continues to function

• The entire circuit stops working

• The circuit's voltage increases

• Only the component stops working

How is Potential Difference distributed across components in a series circuit?

• It is the same across all components

• It is divided across components

• None of the above

In a series circuit with two lamps, one lamp has 8 volts across it. What is the Potential Difference across the other lamp if the Potential Difference of the power supply is 12 volts?

• 6 volts

• 4 volts

• 8 volts

• 12 volts

How do you measure current in a series circuit?

• Using a resistor

• Using a voltmeter

• Using an ammeter placed anywhere in the loop

• None of the above

What happens to the current when it passes through different components in a series circuit?

• It increases

• It decreases

• It stops

• It remains the same

How is the total resistance calculated in a series circuit?

• None of the above

• Multiplying the resistances

• Dividing the total voltage by current

• Adding all resistances together

How can you calculate the voltage across an individual component in a series circuit?

• All of the above

• Using Ohm's law with the component's resistance and current

• By measuring the circuit's total voltage

• Using a voltmeter across the entire circuit

What is the effect of a component's resistance on its share of the Potential Difference (voltage) in a series circuit?

• Higher resistance means a lower share of the voltage

• Resistance does not affect voltage

• Higher resistance means a greater share of the voltage

• Voltage is independent of the components

How do you find the voltage across a component if you know the current and resistance?

• Subtract the resistance from the current

• Add the current and resistance

• Divide the current by the resistance

• Multiply the current by the resistance
