3.

How does the voltage across components differ in a parallel circuit compared to a series circuit?

a)

Voltage is the same across all components in a parallel circuit.

b)

Voltage varies and decreases across each component in a parallel circuit.

c)

Voltage is distributed among components in a series circuit.

d)

Voltage in parallel circuits is always zero.

Which type of diagram would you most likely use for a high-level overview of an electrical system, such as a control system?

a)

Schematic diagram

b)

Wiring diagram

c)

Block diagram

d)

Pictorial diagram

5.

In a DC circuit, why is the current flow restricted to a single direction?

a)

Due to the flow of alternating current

b)

To ensure stability and prevent damage

c)

Because the voltage alternates
