1

In a series circuit, if the potential difference across R1 is V volts, the potential difference across R2 would equal

(60-V) volts

New cards
2

In a series circuit, if resistor R2 is removed and replaced by a resistor of lower value, the resistance of the circuit will

decrease

New cards
3

Which quantity must be the same for each component in any series circuit?

current

New cards
4

In a parallel circuit, if resistance R2 were removed, the potential difference across R1 would

remain the same

New cards
5

In a parallel circuit, if resistance R2 were removed, the current in ammeter A would

decrease

New cards
6

In a parallel ciruit, compared to the potential difference across the source, the potential difference across R2 is

the same

New cards
7

If another resistance were added to the circuit in parallel, the equivalent resistance of the circuit

decrease

New cards
8

When only one lightbulb blows out, an entire string of decorative lights goes out. The lights in this string must be connected in

series with one current pathway

New cards
9

What is the power of the 30 ohm resistor?

4.8 W

New cards
10

Where should an ammeter be located?

Ammeter at 1 (before the split) and voltmeter at 4 ( by the power source
