Current and Resistance homework Name: For the circuit shown, indicate if the statements are true or false. HW1: If wire 2 is left connected but wire 1 is disconnected, the bulb will still light.F HWz: The current flows toward the bulb in both wires 1 and 2. HW3: Conventional current flows from the negative terminal of the battery into wire 1, HW4: Some of the current is used up when the bulb is lit, so current in 1 and 2 will be 2 through the bulb into wire 2 and back to the positive terminal of the battery different. HW5: A current probe will have the same readings if connected to read the current in wine 1 or wire 2.

Explanation / Answer

HW 1) false

Reason : For the bulb to glow , the circuit has to be complete

HW 2) false

Reason : current flows towards the bulb through wire 2

HW 3) false

Reason : conventional current flows from the positive terminal of the battery into wire 2

HW 4) false

Reason : Same amount of current (i) enters and leaves the bulb according to Kirchoff current law

HW 5) true

Reason : magnitude of current is same in both wire 1 and wire 2
