Exploring Series and Parallel Circuits

The video tutorial explains the concepts of voltage, series circuits, and parallel circuits. It begins with a demonstration of voltage across a lamp and the idea of a wire as a conductor. The teacher then explores series circuits, discussing how adding lamps affects brightness and current. Finally, the tutorial introduces parallel circuits, explaining how current flows differently compared to series circuits.

What is the voltage across the lamp when connected to a 12V battery?

• 6V

• 12V

• 24V

• 0V

If you add another lamp in series, what happens to the brightness of each lamp?

• Brighter

• Dimmer

• No change

• Explodes

In a series circuit with two lamps, what is the voltage across each lamp if the total voltage is 12V?

• 3V

• 12V

• 0V

• 6V

According to Ohm's Law, if the resistance in a series circuit doubles, what happens to the current?

• Stays the same

• Halves

• Doubles

• Quadruples

What is the current through each lamp in a series circuit with a total resistance of 2 ohms and a voltage of 12V?

• 12A

• 3A

• 6A

• 1A

What happens to the brightness of a lamp when another lamp is added in parallel?

• Dimmer

• Brighter

• No change

• Explodes

In a parallel circuit, what is the voltage across each lamp if the total voltage is 12V?

• 12V

• 6V

• 3V

• 0V

How does adding more lamps in parallel affect the battery?

• Battery explodes

• No effect

• Battery wears down faster

• Battery lasts longer

In a parallel circuit, if one lamp has a resistance of 1 ohm and the voltage is 12V, what is the current through that lamp?

• 6A

• 12A

What is the total current through the battery if there are three parallel branches each with 12A?

• 12A

• 24A

• 36A

• 48A
