Series-Parallel-combination

What happens to the current in a series circuit if one of the components fails?

• The current remains the same in the circuit

• The current stops flowing through the entire circuit.

• The current decreases in the circuit

• The current increases in the circuit

In a parallel circuit, how does the total resistance compare to the individual resistances?

• Greater than

• Equal to

• Unrelated to

• Less than

What is the effect of adding more resistors in a series circuit?

• The total resistance of the circuit decreases

• The total resistance of the circuit remains the same

• The total resistance of the circuit increases

• The total resistance of the circuit becomes zero

What is one benefits of using a parallel circuit?

• It gets confusing.

• There are no problems for the current flow.

• If one component goes down, it does not affect the power flow to others.

• Current flows in proportion to the parallel branch
