Chapter 17: Direct current

Which statement is FALSE about electricity?

• Electric current is defined as the rate of charge flow

• The resistance will increase when the temperature increase

• The electric current decreases when the resistance increases

• The resistivity increases when the length of the conductor increases

If the resistor are connected in parallel in a circuit which one has the highest current?

 $R_1\ <\ R_{2\ }<\ R_3\ <\ R_4\$  

•  $R_1$  
  

•  $R_2$  

•  $R_3$  

•  $R_4$  

Which of the following parameter DOES NOT alter the electrical resistance of a piece of metal wire?

• The temperature of the wire

• The diameter of the wire

• The type of material of the wire

• The direction of the current flow in the wire

If the length of the wire is doubled and its area of cross section is decreased to half, then its resistance

• Increased by 4 times

• Increased by 2 times

• will become half of its initial value

• Remains the same

• The potential difference across each resistor is V and the current in each resistor is 1/2

• The potential difference across each resistor is V/2 and the current in each resistor is I
