how voltage functions in DC combination circuits

Question 1

In a series circuit, the ? is the same at any point in the circuit.

Answer 1

current

Question 2

In a parallel circuit, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances.

Answer 2

false

Question 3

In a series circuit, the sum of the voltage drops of the individual resistors must equal the applied voltage.

Answer 3

true

Question 4

In a parallel circuit, the ? across any circuit branch is the same as the total voltage.

Answer 4

voltage

Question 5

In a parallel circuit, the total ? through all of the circuit paths.

Answer 5

current is the sum of the current

Question 6

In a parallel circuit, the total resistance is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the branch resistances.

Answer 6

true

Question 7

The total voltage dropped across a series-parallel circuit equals the source voltage.

Answer 7

true

Question 8

In the parallel portion of a series-parallel circuit, the voltage across a parallel branch can be found by taking the total branch current times the ? of the parallel branch.

Answer 8

resistance

Question 9

The first step necessary to make calculations of voltages in a combination circuit is to determine the equivalent resistance of the circuit.

Answer 9

true
