In a series circuit, how does the current behave?

• It decreases with each resistor

• It varies at each resistor

• It remains constant throughout

• It increases with each resistor

What happens to the current at a junction in a parallel circuit?

• It remains the same

• It splits into different paths

• It reverses direction

• It stops completely

What is the total current in a parallel circuit?

• It is the difference between the currents through each path

• It is the sum of the currents through each path

• It is the product of the currents through each path

• It is the same as the current through one path

What determines the current in each branch of a parallel circuit?

• The total voltage

• The resistance of each branch

• The number of branches

• The type of battery used

In a series circuit, how is the voltage change across resistors?

• It is equal across all resistors

• It is zero across all resistors

• It varies depending on the resistor

• It is always increasing

In a series circuit, what is the voltage right before it enters the battery?

• Equal to the sum of all resistors' voltages

• Equal to the battery voltage

• Equal to zero

• Equal to the voltage across the first resistor

What is the voltage change across resistors in a parallel circuit?

• It is equal across all resistors

• It is zero across all resistors

• It is always decreasing

• It varies depending on the resistor

How does the voltage change across a resistor in a parallel circuit?

• It fluctuates

• It decreases

• It remains the same

• It increases

What is the voltage at a node in a parallel circuit before crossing any resistors?

• Equal to zero

• Equal to the battery voltage

• Equal to half the battery voltage

• Equal to twice the battery voltage
