A 9 V battery is connected to resistors 2 O and 4 O in series. The current in the circuit is:
Which equation gives the equivalent resistance, R_eq, for two resistors R1 and R2 in parallel?
In a circuit the voltmeter reads 12 V across a branch that contains two equal resistors in series. The voltage across each resistor is:
When resistors are added in parallel to a circuit powered by a fixed battery, the current drawn from the battery:
A 10 O resistor and a 40 O resistor are connected in series across 10 V. The fraction of the total voltage across the 40 O resistor is:
Which instrument should be placed in series to measure current?
In a series circuit with three resistors, if one resistor is removed (open circuit), what happens to the current in the remaining resistors?
Two resistors, 10 O and 20 O, are connected in parallel. The total resistance is:
If one lamp in a parallel string fails (bulb filament breaks), the other lamps will:
Which instrument should be placed in parallel with a component to measure voltage across it?
Two identical bulbs are connected: in which arrangement will both be equally bright if one bulb fails?
