1. When you add more resistors in new branches to a parallel circuit, the current out of the battery a. Increases b. Decreases c. Stays the same d. More information is needed. 2. When you add more resistors to a series circuit the current out of the battery a. Increases b. Decreases c. Stays the same d. More information is needed. 3. How does adding light bulbs in parallel affect the brightness of each bulb? a. Increases b. Decreases c. Stays the same d. More information is needed. 4. If you have a single battery and two or more light bulbs connected in parallel which of the following statements is true? a. Turning off one light will always turn all lights off. b. It is possible to stop current flowing to one branch without affecting the current to the other branches. c. Adding light bulbs in parallel decreases the current in the circuit saving energy. d. It is not possible to connect a single battery to more than one light bulb in a parallel circuit 5. The voltage drop across each of the resistors is 3V. This means that each loop of the circuit gets the full 3V of voltage from the battery. What is the current running through each resistor? current = 4 amps current = 4 amps 1 6. What is the total current going through the wire at the position marked 1?

7. How much current would there be in a circuit with a 12 volt battery in a series circuit with three 2 resistors. 6 amps 8. Adding resistors in parallel creates multiple paths in which the current can travel. Does this increase or decrease the total current in the circuit? Increase 9. Calculate the total resistance and the current for the circuit shown below.

0.5 amps

10. Calculate the current in each branch, total current, and total resistance for the circuit shown below. Current in top branch: 1.5amps Current in middle branch: 0.75amps Total Current:2.25 11. A hair dryer has a resistance of 10,000 when connected to a 120 V outlet. How much current does it draw? 0.012amps 12. A television draws 0.8 A of current when connected to a 120 V outlet. Calculate the total resistance of the TV. 150 ohms

Total resistance: 3ohms
