TEST I: TRUE or FALSE – Choose the correct answer in the following question.
1. A single-line diagram is also called a one-line diagram.
a. True b. False
2. Color coding is shown on a wiring or connection diagram.
a. True b. False
3. A fixed resistor is one that has a single value of resistance which remains constant under normal
conditions.
a. True b. False
4. Variable resistors are used to vary or change the amount of resistance in a circuit. Variable resistors are
called potentiorneters or rheostats.
a. True b. False
5. A series circuit is a circuit in which there is only one path for current to flow along.
a. True b. False
6. When there is a voltage drop across a resistance, one end must be more positive or more negative than
the other end.
a. True b. False
7. We found that Ohm’s law could be used for total values in a series circuit as well as for individual parts
of the circuit.
a. True b. False
8. A parallel circuit is a circuit in which two or more components are connected across the same voltage
source.
a. True b. False
9. It is sometimes necessary to find the individual branch currents in a parallel circuit if the resistances and
total current are known, but the voltage across the resistance bank is not known.
a. True b. False
10. When two resistances are connected in parallel, the voltage across each is the same
a. True b. False

TEST II Problem Solving – Solve the following problems and show a complete solution.
11 – 16. Since an electric circuit is a path for current to flow through, a break in this path would stop current
flow. Switches are simply ways to break this path or to control the flow of current. Some more
symbols for switches are shown in Fig. 2-10. To remember these switches, think of the number of
poles as the number of wires coming to either side of the switch. The throws can be thought of as
the number of on positions. Answer the following questions:
(a) The number of wires coming to each side of a double-pole switch is _____
(b) The number of on positions a DPST switch has is _____
(c) The number of on positions a DPDT switch has is _____
17 – 19. A circuit consists of a 6-V battery, a switch, and a lamp. When the switch is closed, 2 A flows in the
circuit. What is the resistance of the lamp?
20 – 22. A voltage of 20V is measured across a 200-R resistor. What is the current flowing through the
resistor?
23 – 28. Find the voltage at points A and B with respect to ground (Fig. 4-29).
