electricity (10)

Question 1

in series the amount of resistors is increased what happens to current

Answer 1

the total current decreases

Question 2

in parallel what happens when the amount of resistors is increased

Answer 2

the total resistance decreases therefor the total current increases

Question 3

what effects resistance

Answer 3

• type of material
• length (the longer the wire the more resistance)
• thickness (the thicker the wire the less resistance)
• temperature (the higher the temperature the higher the resistance)

Question 4

when you measure the potential difference across a battery you are measuring what

Answer 4

the emf

Question 5

conventional current

Answer 5

from positive to negative

Question 6

what happens when a battery goes flat

Answer 6

all it’s chemical potential energy has been converted into forms of other energy

Question 7

in series, what happens with current

Answer 7

current is the same at every point in the circuit

Question 8

in series, what happens to voltage

Answer 8

the voltage is divided across resistors

Question 9

in parallel, what happens with current

Answer 9

current splits at different paths

Question 10

in parallel, what happens with voltage

Answer 10

the voltage is the same across the resistors

Question 11

ohms law

Answer 11

current through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across the conductor at a constant temperature
