Practice Test (See related pages) 1 A series circuit is any circuit that provides more than one path for current flow. A) True B) False 2 Since there is only one path for electrons to follow, the current must be the same in all parts of a series circuit. A) True B) False 3 The total resistance of a series string equals the product of the individual resistances. A) True B) False 4 With no current through a resistor, there is no potential difference across the two ends of the resistor. A) True B) False 5 Kirchhoff's voltage law states that the sum of all resistor voltage drops in a series circuit equals the applied voltage. A) True B) False 6 If a circuit has only two series-opposing voltages and they are equal, the current will be maximum. A) True B) False 7 A common application of series circuits is to use a resistance to decrease the voltage from the source VT to a lower value. A) True B) False 8 In most electrical and electronic systems, one side of the voltage source is connected to ground. A) True B) False 9 The term electrically isolated means that the resistance between each ground or common point is zero ohms. A) True B) False 10 To diagnose or to analyze electronic equipment, are other names for . 11 A break in the current path of a series circuit is called a(n) . 12 A circuit that provides only one path for current flow is a(n) circuit. 13 A combination of series resistances is often called a . 14 The power needed to produce current in each series resistor is used up in the form of . 15 For a circuit, a break in the current path means zero current in all components. 16 The resistance of a circuit is assumed to be zero ohms. 17 The total resistance of a circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances. 18 The voltage drop across a series connected shorted component A) decreases to zero B) increases to the value of the power source C) remains the same D) doubles in value 19 In a series circuit containing an open, all the good components will have a voltage A) increase from their normal value B) decrease from their normal value to 0V C) increase from their normal value to the value of the power source D) that is the same as when the circuit was operating normally 20 Components that are in the same current path are called A) series components B) parallel components C) series-parallel components D) active 21 Adding series resistance A) increases the current B) decreases the current C) increases the voltage D) decreases the power 22 With no current through a resistor, the resistor has only A) minimal voltage across it B) power dissipated C) resistance D) energy 23 The total power used in a series circuit is the A) value of power dissipated in one part of the circuit B) sum of the individual values of power dissipated in each part of the circuit C) total voltage divided by the total resistance D) total resistance times the total current 24 Series-opposing voltages are A) added B) subtracted C) never used D) used with amplifiers only 25 When the resistance between each ground or common point is infinite ohms, it is said to be A) grounded B) bonded C) electrically isolated D) optically coupled
