    This document discusses series and parallel circuits. It provides examples of series and parallel circuits and tests the reader's understanding by asking them to identify features of each type of circuit, such as how the bulbs behave when one is removed from the circuit. It also asks the reader to determine current and voltage measurements in example circuits. Key differences covered include current and brightness remaining the same in parallel but not in series circuits when components are added or removed.

    Series and Parallel


    Friday, April 08, 2022 10:54 AM

    1. The diagrams show two circuits.

    (a) Write ‘series’ and ‘parallel’ under the

    correct circuits.

    Answer:parallel

    Answer:series

    2. (a) All the bulbs in a series circuit are on or off

    together.
    Answer:true

    (b) If you add more bulbs to a parallel circuit


    they get dimmer.

    Answer:false, they get same brightness

    (c) The current is the same everywhere in a

    parallel circuit.
    Answer:false,the current is not the same but
    the voltage is then same

    (d) The current in a parallel circuit splits up


    when it comes to a join in the wires.
    Answer:true

    3. a) This is a series circuit.

    If I take out one bulb, it leaves a gap in the


    circuit. The other bulb (goes off/).

    (b) This is a parallel circuit.

    If I take out one bulb,


    the other bulb (/stays on). There is still a
    complete
    circuit for the current to flow around through
    the other bulb.

    4. Fill in the missing ammeter readings in these


    circuits.

    Answer:1. 0.5
    2.1
    3. 0.5
    5. Look at the circuit below.

    What is the voltage on the voltmeter labelled

    P?

    A 0V

    B 2V

    C 4V<this one

    D 8V

    6. Ammir makes this circuit. He then adds another

    cell.

    What happens when the second cell is added to

    the circuit?
    Ammeter reading Bulb brightness
    A increases dimmer
    B<this one Increase brighter
    C decreases brighter
    D decreases dimmer

    7. In this circuit all the bulbs are identical.

    What is the reading on the voltmeter?

    A 1.5 V

    B 2 V

    C 3 V

    D 6 V<this one
