What is Ohm's Law and how is it applied in circuits?
Ohm's Law states that current is equal to voltage divided by resistance.
Ohm's Law is V = I * R, relating voltage, current, and resistance in circuits.
Ohm's Law is used to calculate the power in a circuit as P = V + I.
Ohm's Law applies only to alternating current (AC) circuits.
Nikita is working on a project where she needs to calculate the total resistance in a series circuit. How does she do that?
R_total = R1 + R2 + R3 + ... + Rn
R_total = 1/(1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... + 1/Rn)
R_total = R1 * R2 * R3 * ... * Rn
R_total = R1 - R2 - R3 - ... - Rn
What is the formula for equivalent resistance in a parallel circuit?
R_eq = R1 + R2 + R3 + ... + Rn
R_eq = R1 * R2 * R3 * ... * Rn
1/R_eq = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... + 1/Rn
1/R_eq = R1 - R2 - R3 - ... - Rn
Akhil is working on a project where he needs to connect multiple resistors in series. How does the total resistance change when more resistors are added in series?

How does the voltage across each resistor in a series circuit compare to the total voltage?
The voltage across each resistor is equal to the total voltage.
The voltage across each resistor is a fraction of the total voltage.
The voltage across each resistor is greater than the total voltage.
The voltage across each resistor is independent of the total voltage.
What is the formula for calculating the total current in a parallel circuit?
I_total = I1 + I2 + I3 + ... + In
I_total = I1 * I2 * I3 * ... * In
1/I_total = 1/I1 + 1/I2 + 1/I3 + ... + 1/In
I_total = I1 - I2 - I3 - ... - In

The current is halved.
The current increases exponentially.
In a parallel circuit, how does the total voltage compare to the voltage across each branch?
The total voltage is equal to the voltage across each branch.

The total voltage is independent of the voltages across the branches.
The total voltage is greater than the voltage across the branch with the lowest resistance.
What happens to the total current in a circuit if the voltage is halved while the resistance remains constant?
The total current doubles.
The total current remains the same.
The total current is halved.
The total current decreases exponentially.
