EE-Circuits Study Quiz
Ammeter - Answer a device used to measure current
Ampere - Answer The unit for measuring the strength
fuse - Answer a circuit element that contains a wire that melts when the current gets too
high, this creating an open circuit
open circuit - Answer an incomplete electrical circuit in which no current flows due to an
open switch or fuse
parallel circuit - Answer A circuit with two or more loops through which the current can flow
Resistance - Answer a measure of how well electric current flows through a material
series circuit - Answer An electric current in which resistors are arranged so that they come
one after another
According to Ohms law, a circuit with a high resistance: - Answer Will have a low electric
current
Which factors determine the amount of electric current in a circuit - Answer Voltage,
resistance
In a given circuit, the supplied voltage is 1.5 volts and the resistor value is 3 ohms. Use ohms law
to determine the current of the circuit. - Answer 0.5 amps
In a given circuit, the supplied 1.5 volts. One resistor is 3 ohms and the other is 2 ohms. Use
ohms law to determine the current in the circuit. - Answer 0.3 amps
A series circuit contains a 9-volt battery, a 3-ohm resistor, and a 2-ohm resistor. What is the
voltage drop across the 2-ohm resistor? - Answer 3.6 V
A break in the wires of an electric current will ___ the circuit and ___ the current. Reconnecting
the wires will ___ the circuit and ___ the current. - Answer open, stop, close, start
