According to Ohm's Law, if voltage is 12V and resistance is 4Ω, what is the current?
Answer: 3A
Ohm's Law: I = V/R = 12/4 = 3 amperes.
In a series circuit with three resistors of 2Ω, 3Ω, and 5Ω, what is the total resistance?
Answer: 10Ω
In series circuits, total resistance is the sum: 2 + 3 + 5 = 10Ω.
What is the unit of electrical resistance?
Answer: Ohm (Ω)
Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω), named after Georg Simon Ohm.
What happens to current in a circuit if resistance doubles while voltage stays constant?
Answer: Current is halved
From I = V/R, doubling R halves I when V is constant.
In a parallel circuit, what is true about the voltage across each branch?
Answer: It is the same across all branches
In parallel circuits, all branches share the same voltage from the source.
What is electrical power measured in?
Answer: Watts
Power is measured in watts (W). P = V × I.
