Question 1
1.
The voltage of a battery is the
amount of charge stored in it
the amount of energy it is chemical store
how hard it can push current around a circuit.
How fast current will flow out of a battery
Question 2
2.
The current in a circuit is
the rate electricity flows around
the rate charges flow around a circuit
the rate electricity flows out of a battery
how rate charges flow out of a battery
Question 3
3.
The resistance of a component measures
how hard it is to connect
how hard it is for current to flow
the push applied to charges
the rate charges flow through
Question 4
4.
The units of current are
Amperes
Newtons
Ohms
Volts
Question 5
5.
The units of resistance are
Joules
Newtons
Ohms
Volts
Question 6
6.
What is the correct formula Current =
voltage x resistance
voltage ÷ resistance
resistance ÷ voltage
voltage + resistance
Question 7
7.
What is the correct formula Current =
charge flow + time
charge flow x time
charge flow ÷ time
time ÷ charge flow
Question 8
8.
In a series circuit the voltage across all the components added together is
larger than the battery’s voltage
smaller than the battery’s voltage
equal to the battery's voltage
Question 9
9.
In a parallel circuit the voltage across each branch is
larger than the battery’s voltage
smaller than the battery’s voltage
equal to the battery's voltage
Question 10
10.
In a parallel circuit the current through the battery is
larger than the current through a branch
smaller than the current through a branch
equal to the current through a branch
In an electrical circuit, components can be connected in series or in parallel.
