Series and Parallel Circuit

Select the TRUE statement that describes a series circuit.

• Components are not connected.

• Components are connected with one another in no particular order.
  

• Components are connected along multiple paths.
  

• Components are connected along a single path.
  

In a series circuit, what happens to the current as more resistors are added?

• Current increases.

• Current decreases.

• Current remains the same.

• Current become erratic.

What happens to the brightness of bulbs in a series circuit when one bulb burns out?

• All bulbs become brighter.

• All bulbs become dimmer.

• Only the burned-out bulb becomes dimmer.

• All other bulbs remain unaffected.

What happens to the voltage in a parallel circuit when more loads are added?

• Voltage increases.

• Voltage decreases.

• Voltage remains the same.

• Voltage becomes zero.

• 0.5 A

• 1 A

• 2 A

• 3 A

In the illustrated circuit, which resistors are connected in parallel?

• R₁ and R₂

• R₁ and R₃

• R₂ and R₃

• R₁, R₂ and R₃

Based on this figure, compute the total resistance of the circuit.
