2. What is the voltage supplied to a parallel circuit equal to?

  • The voltage of one component only
  • The voltage in each branch
  • The voltage in 1 branch multiplied by the number of branches
  • The sum of the voltage of all branches

3. The current at the start of a series circuit is the same as…?

  • The current anywhere on the circuit
  • 1/2 of the current after the 1st component
  • The sum of the currents after each component
  • Number of components

4. In a parallel circuit, the current supplied will…?

  • Split equally between the loops
  • Only go into 1 loop
  • Remain the same (as the amount supplied) for all loops
  • Always supply 1/2 the full amount to each loop

5. The voltage supplied in a series circuit is the same as…?

  • The voltage at any point in the circuit
  • The sum of all the components’ voltage
  • The mean voltage of the components
  • The voltage of 1 component multiplied by the number of components in the series
