Questions and Answers

What is the type of circuits where the direction of the current does not change with time?

  • Direct current (DC) circuits (correct)
  • Series circuits
  • Parallel circuits
  • Alternating current (AC) circuits
  • In a series circuit, what happens if any resistor is broken or a fault occurs?

  • The voltage across each resistor increases
  • The current flow is branched out
  • The entire circuit is turned off (correct)
  • The total resistance increases
  • What is the formula to calculate the total resistance in a series circuit?

  • Rtotal = R1 × R2 × …..× Rn
  • Rtotal = R1 + R2 + …..+ Rn (correct)
  • Rtotal = R1 - R2 - …..- Rn
  • Rtotal = R1 ÷ R2 ÷ …..÷ Rn
  • In a parallel circuit, what is the same across all the resistors?
