Question

True or False

1. When two or more resistors are connected in parallel, the voltage difference (potential difference) across each resistor is the same.

2. The total current going through two resistors in parallel is equal to the sum of the current going through each individual resistor: = 1 + 2.

3. When filaments are in parallel, the failure of one will not affect others.

4. The total current going through two resistors in series is equal to the sum of the current going through each individual resistor: = 1 + 2.

5. The equivalent resistance for two resistors in series is equal to the sum of the two individual resistances. Req= R1 +R2

6. When two or more resistors are connected one after another, they are in series. The voltage difference (potential difference) across each resistor has to be equal.

7. When two or more resistors are connected in parallel, the current going through each one of them must be equal.

8. The equivalent resistance for two resistors in parallel is equal to the sum of the two individual resistances. Req= R1 +R2

9. When multiple branches are in parallel, if one branch only has ideal wire, the resistance is zero, the current only take the zero resistance branch and not go through other resistors.

10. When multiple resistors are in parallel, the current will take all branches, not only the branch with the least resistance. But the branch with the least resistance will get the largest amount of current.
