ACTUAL Questions And CORRECT
Answers
Any circuit in which the current is split or follows two (or more) alternative paths is called a ?
circuit. - CORRECT ANSWER - Parallel
Any circuit in which the same current flows through all components is a ? circuit. - CORRECT
ANSWER - Series
To solve unknown values in a combination circuit, use series circuit rules for those sections of
the circuit that are connected in series, and parallel circuit rules for those sections connected in
parallel. - CORRECT ANSWER - True
In a series circuit, the ? is the same at any point in the circuit. - CORRECT ANSWER -
Current
In a series circuit, the total resistance is ? . - CORRECT ANSWER - the sum of the
individual resistances
In a ? circuit, the sum of the voltage drops of the individual resistors must equal the applied
voltage. - CORRECT ANSWER - Series
In a ? circuit, the total current is the sum of the current through all of the circuit paths. -
CORRECT ANSWER - Parallel
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance is ? . - CORRECT ANSWER - equal to the
reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the branch resistances
, When it is difficult to recognize which parts of a combination circuit are series connected and
which are parallel connected, it is often necessary to ? . - CORRECT ANSWER - redraw
the circuit
In reducing series-parallel circuits to their simplest form, the equivalent circuit is usually
represented by a single resistor that is connected in parallel with the voltage source. - CORRECT
ANSWER - False
One of the basic steps in reducing a combination circuit to its simplest form is to ? . - CORRECT
ANSWER - substitute the equivalent values from each simple parallel or series circuit into
the original circuit
