Series-Parallel Circuits
True or False

Mark each of the statements below True or False.

1 .       Using the current-divider formula, you can find the current in any branch of a series-parallel circuit. [Hint]

 
 


2 .       Using Kirchhoff's voltage law, you can find the voltages across certain parts of a series-parallel circuit. [Hint]

 
 


3 .       Two equal-value resistors in series will divide the source voltage equally. [Hint]

 
 


4 .       To derive 18 V and 12 V from a 24 V supply requires a voltage divider with three taps. [Hint]

 
 


5 .       A smaller-value load resistor will cause the output voltage to change more than a larger-value one. [Hint]

 
 


6 .       The higher the range setting, the less the internal resistance and the greater the load effect of the voltmeter on a circuit. [Hint]

 
 


7 .       A resistor ladder network is a special type of series-parallel circuit. [Hint]

 
 


8 .       A Wheatstone bridge consists of four resistors in parallel. [Hint]

 
 


9 .       A galvanometer is a meter that measures small amounts of voltage. [Hint]

 
 


10 .       A Wheatstone bridge is often shown in a "diamond" configuration. [Hint]
