190104b electrical circuits

Question 1

minimal electric circuit component

Answer 1

• power source
• conductor
• load
• control

Question 2

types of circuits

Answer 2

• series
• parallel
• series parallel

Question 3

identification character of a series circuit

Answer 3

• current is always constant
• only one flow for current
• the current is the same at every point
• the resistance of the circuit is equal to all the single resisters
• the sum of voltage drop across each resistance equals the applied voltage

Question 4

name all the parallel identifying charactorristics

Answer 4

• voltage is always constant
• current flow thru each path is dependant on the resisters and voltage applied to each path
• total current flow is equal to the sum of the current from each path
• adding resistances in a parallel decrease total resistance ( more paths)
• removing resistance increase resistance (fewer paths)
• total resistance will always be less then the smallest resistance in a circuit

Question 5

in a parallel, voltage to each branch would be

Answer 5

the same (pressure is applied equally)

Question 6

what does ohm’s law states

Answer 6

one volt is needed to force one ampere of current to flow through one ohm of resistace

Question 7

E stands for
I stands for
R stands for

Answer 7

electromotive force
intensity of current flow
resistance to current flow

Question 8

whats kirchhoff’s current law

Answer 8

the sum of the electrical current flowing away from any point in an electric circuit must equal the sum of the currents flowing towards the point

Question 9

whats kirchhoff’s voltage law

Answer 9

law states that around any path in an electric circuit, the sum of the voltage drops is equal to the sum of the voltage rises.
