DC - Ch. 6 & 7

Ammeters are connected in parallel in a series circuit.

• True

• False

An open circuit in a series circuit will see high current flow.

• True

• False

Series circuits are limited to 10 components.

• True

• False

Current is the same in all parts of a series circuit.

• True

• False

Adding resistors in a series circuit will reduce current.

• True

• False

Total resistance in a series circuit is equal to the:

• largest-value resistor

• lowest-value resistor

• sum of the resistor values connected in series

• average of the resistors connected

The sum of the voltage drops across resistors connected in series is equal to the

• applied voltage

• reduced voltage

• RMS voltage

• average voltage

An open circuit in a series circuit will cause

• current to rise

• current to remain the same

• current to stop flowing

• a doubling of current

An increase in voltage applied to a series circuit will cause:

• current to fall

• current to remain the same

• current to increase

• current to fluctuate

If the voltage applied to a series circuit is increased, the circuit current will:

• decrease

• remain the same

• change the circuit resistance

• increase
