DC - Series Circuits

Ammeters are connected in parallel.

• True

• False

Adding resistors in a series circuit will reduce current

• True

• False

Total resistance in a series circuit is equal to the:

• Largest value resistor

• Lowest value resistor

• Sum of the resistor values connected in series

• Average of the resistors connected

The sum of the voltage drops across resistors connected in series is equal to the:

• Applied Voltage

• Reduced Voltage

• RMS Voltage

• Average Voltage

An open circuit in a series circuit will cause:

• Current to rise

• Current to remain the same

• Current to stop flowing

• Current to double

An increase in voltage applied to a series circuit will cause:

• Current to fall

• Current to remain the same

• Current to increase

• Current to fluctuate

If the voltage applied to a series circuit is increased, the circuit current will:

• Decrease

• Remain the same

• Change the circuit resistance

• Increase

To determine the total resistance of a series circuit, the equation used is:

Current in all parts of a series circuit is:

• Variable

• Different

• The same

• Reduced

A short circuit will always cause current to:

• Be variable

• Remain the same

• Decrease

• Increase
