What is the switch?
100
This type of circuit has one bulb, one battery, one wire, and one switch.
What is a simple circuit?
100

The unit current is measured in.

What is amps (A)?

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

This piece of equipment has a symbol that 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

Describe how voltage works.

It is a push that moves electrons through a circuit.

200
In a series circuit when you add more lightbulbs, this happens to the total resistance.
What is increases?
300

Type of material used for wires that allow electrons to flow.

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 branches, this happens to the total resistance in the battery.

What is decreases?

400

Tool used to measure voltage.

What is a voltmeter?

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 16 ohms, this is how much current will flow.

What is 0.094 Amps?

400

A circuit has 300.0 mA of current and a resistance of 4.0 ohms. What is the voltage?

What is blockage/clogged pipes?
500

Tool used to measure current.

What is an ammeter?
500

Rank the brightness of the circuit Mr. Zimmerman is about to draw.

  
500

If you have a string of 50. light bulbs that each have a resistance of 2.0 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
