16.4Q) CASTLE #6 Quiz

Some students insist on connecting their voltmeter incorrectly in a circuit. Explain

how the voltmeter should be connected, and why.

In which circuit will the ammeter measure the current through the long bulb?

• Figure A

• Figure B

• Both

• Neither

Which statement is true about Voltmeter 1 (V1) during the CHARGING of the capacitor?

• Reading will remain constant

• Reading

  will increase suddenly from

  zero to a maximum and then

  return to zero.

• Reading will increase steadily

  from zero to a maximum.

Which statement is true about Voltmeter 2 (V2) during the CHARGING of the capacitor?

• Reading will remain constant

• Reading

  will increase suddenly from

  zero to a maximum and then

  return to zero.

• Reading will increase steadily

  from zero to a maximum.

Which statement is true about Voltmeter 3 (V3) during the CHARGING of the capacitor?

• Reading will remain constant

• Reading

  will increase suddenly from

  zero to a maximum and then

  return to zero.

• Reading will increase steadily

  from zero to a maximum.

What is the pressure difference (voltage) across the set of three long bulbs?

Note that the voltmeter place around the battery has a readout of 3 V.

• 1 V

• 3 V

• 1.5 V

• 2 V

What is the pressure difference (voltage) across each individual long bulb?

Note that the voltmeter place around the battery has a readout of 3 V.

• 1 V

• 3 V

• 1.5 V

• 2 V

What is the pressure difference (voltage) across each individual round bulb?

Note that the voltmeter place around the battery has a readout of 3 V.

• 1 V

• 3 V

• 1.5 V

• 2 V

Two bulbs are connected in series. Bulb A is receiving energy at the rate of 15 watts

and Bulb B at 40 watts. Indicate which bulb is described:

Groups:

(a) Bulb A value is larger.

,

(b) Bulb B value is larger.

,

(c) Neither (same value)

• Current

• The light

• The resistance.

• None describe this option.

You are given two circuits with identical batteries. In one circuit (S), a round and a long

bulb are in series. In the other (P), the same bulbs are in parallel.

Groups:

(a) Parallel

,

(b) Series

• the battery is giving out energy at a greater rate.

• the round bulb is converting energy to heat and light at a greater rate

  than the long bulb.

• the long bulb is converting energy to heat and light at a greater rate

  than the round bulb.
