Student Exploration: Circuits (Gizmos) |29 Questions| With Correct Answers.

Extend your thinking: Replace the battery. Turn on Show current, and remove one resistor. Why would it be a problem if your household appliances were connected in a series circuit? {Ans: It wouldn't be efficient and all the appliances may not need the same voltage}How does changing the battery's voltage affect the current? {Ans: The higher the battery voltage, the greater the flow of current in the circuit.}B. A parallel circuit with two 20-ohm resistors and a 10-ohm resistor. {Ans: 5}How do you think increasing the resistance in a circuit will affect the current in the wire? {Ans: The flow of the current will decrease due to the resistance.}How do you think the total resistance of a series circuit is calculated? {Ans: though the summation of the resistors values.}What is the current in the wire now? {Ans: 2.7 amp}
