Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the total resistance in a series circuit of 150 Ξ© and 250 Ξ©?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Add the resistances together.

Question 2

Easy

In a parallel circuit with two 100 Ξ© resistors, what is the total resistance?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the formula 1/R_total = 1/R1 + 1/R2.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a circuit using a 12 V battery with two resistors in series of 220 Ξ© and 330 Ξ©. Calculate the total current.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Add the resistances first before applying Ohm's Law.

Question 2

You have two parallel resistors of 150 Ξ© and 450 Ξ© connected to a 9 V supply. Calculate the individual currents and the total current.

πŸ’‘ Hint: First find the current through each resistor individually, then sum them.
