Ohm's Law states that the current through a conductor is:
Answer: Directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance
Ohm's Law: I = V/R, meaning current equals voltage divided by resistance.
Two resistors of 4Ω and 6Ω are connected in series. What is the total resistance?
Answer: 10Ω
For resistors in series, total resistance R_total = R1 + R2 = 4 + 6 = 10Ω.
Two resistors of 4Ω and 6Ω are connected in parallel. What is the total resistance?
Answer: 2.4Ω
For parallel resistors, 1/R = 1/4 + 1/6 = 5/12, so R = 12/5 = 2.4Ω.
What is electric power (P) in terms of voltage (V) and current (I)?
Answer: P = VI
Electric power is calculated as P = VI, the product of voltage and current.
In a DC circuit, what happens to the total current when an additional resistor is added in parallel?
Answer: Total current increases because the equivalent resistance decreases
Adding a parallel branch lowers total resistance, so by I = V/R, total current from the source increases.
What is the SI unit of electric charge?
Answer: Coulomb (C)
The Coulomb (C) is the SI unit of electric charge, where one Coulomb equals the charge carried by approximately 6.24 × 10^18 electrons.
