The purpose of a resistor in an electrical circuit is to limit the flow of current and control voltage levels.

a)

True

b)

False

3.

The main difference between a parallel and series circuit is the way the components are connected and how the current flows through them.

a)

True

b)

False

4.

The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit is given by Ohm's law: V = I * R.

a)

True

b)

False

5.

How does an LED (Light Emitting Diode) work?

a)

LEDs work by absorbing light when an electric current passes through them.

b)

LEDs work by producing sound when an electric current passes through them.

c)

LEDs work by generating heat when an electric current passes through them.

d)

6.

Which unit is used to measure electrical resistance?

a)

volt (V)

b)

ohm (Ω)

c)

ampere (A)
