Series Circuits
True or False

Mark each of the statements below true or false

1 .       The term series opposing means that sources are in series with opposite polarities. [Hint]

 
 


2 .       Series aiding is a term sometimes used to describe voltage sources of the same polarity in series. [Hint]

 
 


3 .       A series circuit acts as a current divider. [Hint]

 
 


4 .       If you know the current anywhere in a series circuit, you know the current everywhere in a series circuit. [Hint]

 
 


5 .       The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the difference between the largest and smallest value resistors. [Hint]

 
 


6 .       The sum of all the voltage drops around a single closed loop in a circuit is zero. [Hint]

 
 


7 .       A series circuit acts as a voltage divider. [Hint]

 
 


8 .       In a series circuit, the individual powers are additive. [Hint]

 
 


9 .       The voltage at one point in a circuit is always measured relative to another point. [Hint]

 
 


10 .       A short in a series circuit prevents current. [Hint]
