Series and Parallel Circuits

What is a voltage divider?

• A voltage divider is a parallel circuit that combines multiple voltages into a single output voltage.

• A voltage divider is a type of battery that provides a constant voltage.

• A voltage divider is a device that increases the voltage of a circuit.

• A voltage divider is a series circuit that divides a voltage into smaller parts using resistors.

What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

• The main difference is the power consumption of the components.

• The main difference is the resistance of the components.

• The main difference is how the components are connected and how the current flows.

• The main difference is the voltage across the components.

What happens to the current in a series circuit as more resistors are added?

• The current in a series circuit remains the same as more resistors are added doesn't increase nor decrease.

• The current in a series circuit increases as more resistors are added.

• The current in a series circuit decreases as more resistors are added but it is the same current that is flowing through all of them.

• The current in a series circuit fluctuates as more resistors are added it will increase and then decrease.

What is the purpose of wire connections in a circuit?

• To provide a path for the flow of water in the circuit

• To increase the resistance in the circuit

• To prevent the flow of electric current between components

• To provide a path for the flow of electric current between components

what is the relation between the potential difference of all components of a series circuit?

• v battery = v1 + v2 + v3 +...

• v battery = v1 - v2 - v3 -...

• v battery = v1 = v2 = v3 =...

• v battery = v1 - v2 + v3 -V4 +...
