What is the current through a circuit which contains three resistors of size
3 O, 5 O and 7 O respectively which are placed in series when a potential diffe
rence of 12 V is applied?
0.8 A
1 A
2 A
10 A
If two components are connected in parallel, how is the potential difference
across each split?
It is dependent on which components are used
It is dependent on the resistance of the components used
One component gets twice as much voltage as the other
They are the same
What is the definition of current?
Flow of atoms through a circuit
Flow of electrons through a circuit
The amount of resistance an electron experiences when travelling through
a circuit
The energy which each electron has when flowing through a circuit
Two circuits are set up and both circuits contain two bulbs. One circuit is
set up so that the bulbs are connected in series, whilst the other is set up so
that the bulbs are connected in parallel. In which circuit will the bulbs be bri
ghtest if both circuits have the same resistance and the same voltage applied?
Circuit in parallel
Circuit in series
They will both have the same brightness
It is impossible to tell
