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 a voltmeter is connected in a circuit to measure the voltage across a resistor it should be connected:
A circuit contains three resistors: two 10 O in parallel, then that combination in series with 5 O. The total resistance is:
Two identical bulbs are connected: in which arrangement will both be equally bright if one bulb fails?
In a circuit two resistors, 10 O and 20 O, are connected in series. The total resistance is:
Which instrument should be placed in series to measure current?
An ideal voltmeter has:
A 9 V battery is connected to resistors 2 O and 4 O in series. The current in the circuit is:
An ideal ammeter has which property?
Which instrument should be placed in parallel with a component to measure voltage across it?
Two identical lamps A and B connected in series are less bright than the same lamps connected in parallel because:
