2 Chapter 34, 35 TEST PLEASE DO NOT WRITE ON THIS TEST! Test Form A For questions 1-6, read the characteristic and answer using: A. parallel circuit B, series circuit C. neither AorB — D. both AandB au Rep ‘The current is the same amount at any point in the circuit. As more resistors are added, total resistance decreases. Ifone resistor is disconnected, current stops flowing in all other resistors in the circuit. As more resistors are added, total current decreases. Ifone resistor is disconnected, current remains the same through other resistors. The voltage each resistor receives is the same. LL ‘What is the function of the third prong in a household electric plug? Breaks the circuit if too much current flows, Sends current through the neutral wire if there is a short. Opens the switch to prevent current from flowing. Grounds excess charge on the metal frame of the appliance. ‘Melts and fuses the circuit. paegs Suppose a balloon that was rubbed with fur repelled a pith ball when it was brought close to it. Then suppose a charged rod was brought close to the pith ball and it attracted the pith ball towards it. The rod therefore must have a ___ charge, a. positive b. negative neutral d, waffle A fuse is designed to ‘when the current becomes too great for the circuit to handle. a. break the circuit b. tum on c. complete the circuit sound an alarm e. increase the current in the main branch What happens to your body’s electrical resistance if your skin gets wet? a. it increases b. it decreases, cit stays the same If you increase the length of the extension cord you use to power an electric weed whacker, then the resistance due to the cord will a. increase b. decrease c. remain the same If you increase the thickness of the extension cord you use to power an electric saw, then the resistance due to the cord will: a. increase b. decrease c. remain the same13. Where would you place a switch if you wanted to turn off /on only one light in the circuit below Ay ef re yo 14, For the circuit to the right, which branch should you put a fuse or Ft cs circuit breaker? “oy ok: a.

Ifyou plug too many appliances into the outlets in your kitchen, the reason it may cause the circuit to overload is that as you add more resistors into @ a. series circuit, the total current decreases. b. series circuit, the total current increases. . parallel circuit, the total current decreases. 4. parallel circuit, the total current increases. e. either series or parallel circuit, the total current decreases. For q, 16, refer to the picture of the “word” bird to the right: 16. This bird is straddling a high wattage light bulb. The wires are bare (no insulation). When the switch is: a. open the bird will receive a shock. . closed the bird will receive a shock ©. open or closed the bird will be shocked. 4. either open or closed, the bird will not be shocked. ine unharmed is that 17. The primary reason a bird can stand on a high voltage power a. The bird has its feet at points of unequal current. b. The bird is smarter than the cow. c. The bird has its feet at points of equal electric potential. d, ‘The bird has lower resistance than the wire. e. The bird has one foot on a pole connected to the ground. 18. True (A) or False (B) It is possible to receive a more severe shock from a 12 volt battery than from a 10,000 V object. 19, True (A) or False (B) According to the Video “Understanding Electricity”, it is the Voltage not the ‘Amps that kills a person. 20. True (A) or False (B) According to the Video “Understanding Electricity”, a spinning copper tube inside a coil of wire will cause electrons to flow.21. True (A) oF False (B) As more electrical devices operate in a parallel circuit, the amount of resistance decreases and current increases. 2, True (A) or False (B) The lights and appliances in a typical household kitchen are operating in series. 23. True (A) or False (B) In a series circuit, there are alternative paths for current to flow. 24. In which case will there be more current in three lamps hooked up to a 6 volt battery, if they are hooked up i a. parallel b. series 25.
