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
]
True
False
2 .
Using Kirchhoff's voltage law, you can find the voltages across certain parts of a series-parallel circuit.
[
Hint
]
True
False
3 .
Two equal-value resistors in series will divide the source voltage equally.
[
Hint
]
True
False
4 .
To derive 18 V and 12 V from a 24 V supply requires a voltage divider with three taps.
[
Hint
]
True
False
5 .
A smaller-value load resistor will cause the output voltage to change more than a larger-value one.
[
Hint
]
True
False
6 .
The higher the range setting, the less the internal resistance and the greater the load effect of the voltmeter on a circuit.
[
Hint
]
True
False

[
Hint
]
True
False
8 .
