Question 1
What is electric current measured in?
Question 2
Voltage is the force that pushes electric charge around a circuit.
Question 3
Which of the following best describes electrical resistance?
Question 4
In a series circuit, the current is the same at every point in the circuit.
Question 5
Ohm's Law states that voltage equals current multiplied by resistance, written as $V = I \times R$ . If a resistor carries a current of $2\text{ A}$ and has a resistance of $5\text{ Ω}$ , the voltage across it is ___.
Question 6
What happens to the total resistance in a series circuit when you add more resistors?
Question 7
When a $12\text{ V}$ battery is connected across a component with a resistance of $3\text{ Ω}$ , using Ohm's Law ( $V = I \times R$ ), the current flowing through the component is ___.
Question 8
In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same as the voltage of the battery.
Question 9
A wire made of copper has lower resistance than a wire of the same length made of nichrome. Which of the following best explains this?
Question 10
Arrange these steps in order, showing how to calculate current using Ohm's Law when you know the voltage and resistance.
