100
This piece of equipment supplies voltage to the circuit.
What is the battery?
100
This is the unit resistance is measured in.
What is ohms?
200
The symbol for this piece of equipment looks like a lightning bolt.
What is a resistor/lightbulb?
200
This type of circuit has three bulbs that are all very dim.
What is a series circuit?
200
The definition of current.
What is the flow of electricity?
200
If a circuit did not have a voltage supply, this is the reason the lightbulb would not light up.
What is the voltage is the source of electrical potential energy for the circuit?
200
In a series circuit when you add more lightbulbs, this happens to the total resistance.
What is increases?
300
The reason why our circuit boards have metal pegs is because metal is this type of material.
What is a conductor?
300
In this type of circuit, each bulb has its own pathway to the battery.
What is a parallel circuit?
300
The formula for calculating current.
What is I = V/R?
300
As voltage increases, this happens to the current in a circuit.
What is increases.
300
In a parallel circuit, when you add more lightbulbs, this happens to the total resistance.
What is decreases?
400
When you are measuring current, this is the place where you put the probes of the multimeter.
What is on either side of the OPEN switch?
400
It doesn't matter where you measure current in this type of circuit.
What is a series circuit?
400
If you use a 1.5 volt battery and have a resistor with 3 ohms, this is how much current will flow.
What is 0.5 Amps?
400
A circuit has .3 amps of current and a resistance of 4 ohms. What is the voltage?

500
This is unique about the location where we measure resistance in the lab.
What is by taking the resistor(s) out of the circuit?
500
In this type of circuit, you could have one bulb that is bright and two that are dim.
What is a compound circuit?
500
If you have a string of 50 light bulbs that each have a resistance of 2 ohms and you plug the lights into an outlet with 120 V, this is how much current will flow.
What is 1.2 Amps
500
