Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the current when using a 9V battery in a 100 Ξ© series circuit?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use Ohm's law I = V/R.

Question 2

Easy

If you have 3 branches with resistance of 220 Ξ© each in a parallel circuit, what is the equivalent resistance?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the formula R_eq = R/n.

Question 1

What happens to current when resistance increases in a series circuit?

  • It increases
  • It decreases
  • It stays the same

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the circuit behaves when more resistance is added.

Question 2

In a parallel circuit, as you add more branches, what happens to the total current?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember that current can travel through multiple paths in a parallel circuit!
