Front

This is an example of a ______ circuit.

Back

Parallel

Front

What is the equivalent resistance of three 10,000 Ω resistors in parallel?

Back

3,333.3 Ω

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected end-to-end, so the current flows through each component sequentially.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected across common points or junctions, allowing multiple paths for current.

Front

What happens to the total resistance in a series circuit when more resistors are added?

Back

The total resistance increases.

Front

What happens to the total resistance in a parallel circuit when more resistors are added?

Back

The total resistance decreases.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

Ohm's Law states that the current (I) through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). Formula: V = I * R.
