Question

with same resistors, a parallel circuit drains the battery quicker than a series circuit.

Select one:

True

False

The safety fuse in an electric circuit is properly connected in parallel with the circuit.

Select one:

True

False

All the electric devices connect in series have same voltage.

Select one:

True

False

A pair of 1-ohm resistors connected in parallel has a combined resistance of

Select one:

a. 2 ohms

b. 1 ohm

c. none of these

d. 1/2 ohm

A pair of 1-ohm resistors connected in series has a combined resistance of

Select one:

a. none of these

b. 1 ohm

c. 2 ohms

d. 1/2 ohm

1) The given statement is TRUE

Reason:- On determining equivalent resistance for a given parallel circuit & series circuit with same resistors in

their construction,we will get less value of equivalent resistance for a parallel circuit than that of a series circuit.

Hence,due to less value of equivalent resistance for a parallel circuit,circuit draws more current than series circuit

which will lead to draining of battery faster in a parallel circuit.

Hence the given statement is TRUE
