Series and Parallel Recap!

2
Multiple Choice
Does this diagram represent a series or parallel circuit?
series circuit
parallel circuit
3
Multiple Choice
The picture shows an electrical circuit. This circuit is a series circuit because:
It has 3 light bulbs.
The same current flows through all three light bulbs.
It uses a single battery.
The electrical current is divided between the three light bulbs.
4
Multiple Choice
If the current at P1 is 3.0 A, what is the current at P3?
0.0 A
1.0 A
2.0 A
3.0 A
5
Recap (Series)
Current = Same at ALL points in the SERIES circuit
6
Multiple Choice
If each of the light bulbs has a potential difference of 2.0 V, what is the emf of the battery?
2.0 V
4.0 V
6.0 V
12.0 V
7
Recap (Series)
Total Voltage = Sum of individual potential Difference in SERIES circuit
(e.g. 5V = 2V + 3V)
8
Multiple Choice
What is the total resistance of the circuit?
100 ohms
450 ohms
400 ohms
30 ohms
9
Recap (SERIES)
Current = Same at all points in the circuit
Total Voltage = Sum of individual potential Difference (e.g. 5V = 2V + 3V)
Resistance = Sum of Resistance in the circuit (5 Ohm = 2 Ohm + 3 Ohm
10
Recap (PARALLEL)
Current = Splits at "traffic junctions" (5A = 2A + 3A)
Emf of battery = Potential Difference of "branch" (e.g. 3V = 3V)
(1 / Total Resistance) = (1 / R1) + (1 / R2)
11
Multiple Choice
In a parallel circuit, which of the following is the same value throughout the circuit?
Voltage
Current
Resistance
Charge
12
Multiple Choice
Which of the following is true of the circuit when switch S is open?
no current will flow in the circuit
current will flow through both R1 and R2
current will flow through only R1
current will flow through only R2
13
Multiple Choice
Two identical lamps, L1 & L2, are connected to a constant voltage power supply. The potential difference across L1 is 36 V.
What is the electromotive force (e.m.f.) of the power supply?
18 V
36 V
6 V
72 V
14
Multiple Choice
The total resistance of this circuit is __________.
25.7 Ω
315 Ω
324 Ω
90 Ω
15
Multiple Choice
The current going through the 45 Ω resistor is __________. (Hint: Use R = V/I as the starting formula)
0.05 A
0.2 A
0.1 A
5 A
16
Multiple Choice
What is the current measured by ammeter A?
0.5 A
2 A
72 A
6 A
17
