10 Questions
Question 1 of 10
In a series circuit, what is constant across all components?
Current is the same throughout a series circuit.
Question 2 of 10
In a parallel circuit, what is constant across all components?
Voltage is the same across all branches in a parallel circuit.
Question 3 of 10
What is the equivalent resistance of two 10-ohm resistors connected in series?
Series resistance is the sum of individual resistances (10 + 10 = 20).
Question 4 of 10
What is the equivalent resistance of two 10-ohm resistors connected in parallel?
Parallel resistance: 1/Req = 1/10 + 1/10 => Req = 5.
Question 5 of 10
How are resistors in series combined to find the total resistance?
Resistors in series are added to calculate the total resistance.
Question 6 of 10
How are resistors in parallel combined to find the total resistance?
The reciprocal of the total resistance equals the sum of the reciprocals.
Question 7 of 10
If a resistor in a series circuit fails open, what happens to the current flow?
An open circuit breaks the path for current flow.
Question 8 of 10
If a resistor in a parallel circuit fails open, what happens to the current through that resistor?
An open circuit stops current flow in that specific branch.
Question 9 of 10
What is the equivalent capacitance of two 10µF capacitors in series?
Series capacitance: 1/Ceq = 1/10 + 1/10 => Ceq = 5.
Question 10 of 10
What is the equivalent inductance of two 10mH inductors in series?
Series inductance is the sum of individual inductances (10 + 10 = 20).
