In a simple series circuit with three resistors, how does the current compare at each resistor?
Answer: It is the same through all three
In a series circuit the same current flows through every component.
Using Ohm's law, what current flows when 12 volts is applied across a 4 ohm resistor?
Answer: 3 amps
Current equals voltage divided by resistance: 12 / 4 = 3 amps.
What is the total resistance of two 10 ohm resistors connected in parallel?
Answer: 5 ohms
Two equal resistors in parallel give half the value, so 10/2 = 5 ohms.
A device that converts electrical energy into rotational mechanical motion is called a:
Answer: Motor
An electric motor turns electrical energy into mechanical rotation.
A transformer with more turns on the secondary than the primary coil will:
Answer: Step up the voltage
More secondary turns than primary raises (steps up) the output voltage.
What is the primary function of a fuse in a circuit?
Answer: To break the circuit during overcurrent
A fuse melts and opens the circuit when current exceeds a safe level.
Power dissipated by a 2 amp current through a 5 ohm resistor is:
Answer: 20 watts
Power equals current squared times resistance: 2² × 5 = 20 watts.
