Question

1. What is the voltage drop across a 3 kohm resistor connected to a 9V power source?

3 V

9 V

0.3 V

0.09 V

2. What is the current in a circuit with a 12V power supply in series with a 100ohm and 200ohm resistor?

0.12 A

0.06 A

0.04 A

0.05 A

3. What is the voltage drop across a 100ohm resistor connected in series with a 12V power supply and a 200ohm resistor?

12 V

8 V

4 V

3 V

4. What is the voltage drop across a 200ohm resistor in series with a 100ohm resistor and a 12V power supply?

12 V

8 V

4 V

3 V

5. Four wires meet at a junction. It is assumed that two currents, I1 and I4, enter the node. An ammeter records a value of +4A for I1. Currents I2 and I3 are travelling out of the node. I2 has 3A running through it, and I3 has 0.5 A running through it. What is the current in I4?

-0.5 A

0.5 A

-1.5 A

1.5 A

6. True or false: if one obtains a negative current using Kirchoff's current law, it means that the assumed direction of that current was incorrect.

7. True or false: An ammeter is connected in series with the current it is trying to measure?

8. True or false: A voltmeter is connected in series with the voltage it is trying to measure?
