Question 1

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

  • It increases
  • It decreases
  • It stays the same

💡 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

💡 Hint: Remember that current can travel through multiple paths in a parallel circuit!
