Which of the following comparisons between a series circuit and a parallel
circuit is correct?
Series circuit Parallel circuit
(A) |All the bulbs in the circuit will | Not all the bulbs in the circuit
light up. will light up
(8) | Not all the bulbs in the circuit | All the bulbs in the circuit will
will light up. light up.
(C) | The current has only one path | The current has more than one
to flow through path to flow through
(0) | The current has more than one | The current has only one path
path to flow through to flow through.
Which of the following statements is correct?
(A)
(B)
If two bulbs are connected in series to one electric cell, they are
brighter than another bulb which is connected to one electric cell.
If two bulbs are connected in parallel to one electric cell, they are
dimmer than another bulb which is connected to one electric cell
(C) If two electric cells and a bulb are connected in series, the bulb will
be dimmer than another bulb which is connected to only one electric
cell
(D) If two electric cells are connected in parallel and connected to a bulb,
the bulb will be equally bright as another bulb which is connected to
only one electric cell. ( )Which of the following advantages or disadvantages of series and parallel
circuits are correct?
One advantage of series circuit: Only a single switch is needed to
control all electrical appliances in the circuit.
One disadvantage of series circuit: If one electrical appliance is faulty,
all other electrical appliances will not function.
One advantage of parallél circuit: If more electrical appliances are
added, each of them will still receive the full voltage from the electric
source.
One disadvantage of parallel circuit: Many switches are required to
control the electrical appliances.

(A)
(B)
(c)
(D)
Electric current is the flow of electrons or positive charges through a
Circuit,
Electric current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal
of an electrical source.
Electric current increases when more electrons are flowing through the
Circuit. °
Electric currents of different sizes are required for different electrical
appliances to work. ( )
Which of the following statements regarding the potential difference or
potential energy is correct?
(A)
(8)
(Cc)
(D)
Potential difference is defined as the energy needed by a charge to
move from one point to another in a circuit.
Accurrent can flow through a circuit because the potential at the positive
terminal and the negative terminal of the battery are the same.
After passing through an electrical appliance, the electrons have higher
potential energy.
Charges at the negative terminal of the battery have higher potential
energy than those at the positive terminal of the battery. ( )
The resistance of an electrical conductor is affected by the nature, length,
diameter and temperature of the conductor. Which of the following statements
is INCORRECT?
(A)
(B)
(c)
(D)
A better electrical conductor has a lower resistance than a poorer
conductor.
The longer the conductor, the higher will be its resistance.
The larger the diameter of the conductor, the higher will be its
resistance.
The higher the temperature, the higher will be the resistance for metal
conductors. ( )12.
