Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
V = \( I \times R \) = \( 1.5 \times 80 \) = 120 V
Which of the following is a characteristic of batteries connected in series?
the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the positive terminal of the next |
|
total voltage equals the average of the individual battery voltages |
|
total voltage equals the sum of the individual battery voltages |
|
two connections are made between each adjacent battery |
You can multiply the voltage or the current supplied by individual batteries by connecting them together either in series or in parallel. The characteristics of batteries connected in series are that total voltage equals the sum of the individual battery voltages, total current equals the average of the individual battery currents, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the next, and one connection is made between each adjacent battery.
Which of the following is a characteristic of batteries connected in parallel?
total current equals the average of the individual battery currents |
|
total current equals the sum of the individual battery currents |
|
the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the next |
|
one connection is made between each adjacent battery |

Which of the following is not a purpose of a resistor in an electrical circuit?
limit the current in the circuit |
|
moderate the heat in the circuit |
|
control the voltage in the circuit |
|
multiply the current in the circuit |
Resistors can be chosen in a wide variety of values to control the voltage in a circuit, limit the current, or moderate the heat produced by the components in the circuit.
Resistance is measured in:
volts |
|
amperes |
|
coulombs |
|
ohms |
Resistance is opposition to the flow of current and is measured in ohms (Ω). One ohm is defined as the amount of resistance that will allow one ampere of current to flow if one volt of voltage is applied. As resistance increases, current decreases as resistance and current are inversely proportional.
