A combinational circuit consists of
- A.
Only series resistors
- B.
Only parallel resistors
- C.
Series and parallel
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
C. Series and parallelExplanation
A combinational circuit consists of both series and parallel resistors. In a series circuit, the resistors are connected one after the other, creating a single path for the current to flow. In a parallel circuit, the resistors are connected side by side, creating multiple paths for the current to flow. A combinational circuit may have a combination of both series and parallel resistors, allowing for more complex circuit configurations and greater control over the flow of current.Rate this question:

The current in a series circuit is
- A.
Always same
- B.
Always different
- C.
Voltage only same
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Always sameExplanation
In a series circuit, the current flowing through each component is the same. This is because there is only one path for the current to flow, so it experiences the same resistance throughout the circuit. As a result, the current remains constant throughout the circuit. Therefore, the correct answer is "always same."Rate this question:

Non of the above
Correct Answer
B. Tracing the currentExplanation
Tracing the current in an electric circuit allows us to determine the path that the current takes and identify the components that are connected in series or in parallel. By following the flow of current, we can observe where it branches off or combines, indicating parallel or series connections respectively. This method is effective in visually understanding the circuit configuration and identifying the different components.Rate this question:

The expression R2 || R3 is
- A.
R2 and R3 are series connected
- B.
R2 and R3 are parallel connected
- C.
R2 series R3 parallel
- D.
R3 series R2 parallel
Correct Answer

The switches in an electric circuit will always connected
- A.
Series
- B.
Parallel
- C.
Sometime series
- D.
Always parallel
Correct Answer
A. SeriesExplanation
In an electric circuit, switches can be connected in series or in parallel. However, the question states that the switches will always be connected in a certain way. Since the answer is "series," it means that the switches will always be connected in series. This means that the switches are connected one after another, forming a single pathway for the electric current to flow through.Rate this question:

A varibale resistor is a
- A.
Resistor adjusted manually
- B.
Resistor adjusted automatically
- C.
Fixed resistor
- D.
No of the above
Correct Answer
A. Resistor adjusted manuallyExplanation
A variable resistor is a type of resistor that can be manually adjusted to change its resistance value. Unlike fixed resistors, which have a set resistance value that cannot be changed, variable resistors allow for precise control of resistance by physically adjusting a knob or slider. This makes them useful in applications where the resistance needs to be varied, such as in volume controls or dimmer switches. Therefore, the correct answer is "resistor adjusted manually".Rate this question:

The centre terminal of a variable resistor is called
- A.
Mover
- B.
Turner
- C.
Pusher
- D.
Slider
Correct Answer
D. SliderExplanation
The centre terminal of a variable resistor is called a slider because it is used to slide along the resistive material, allowing the user to adjust the resistance value. The slider makes contact with the resistive material at different points, effectively changing the length of the resistive path and hence altering the overall resistance of the circuit. This allows for precise control over the amount of resistance in the circuit.Rate this question:

A rheostat is used only for
- A.
Low power
- B.
Medium power
- C.
Very low power
- D.
High power
Correct Answer
D. High powerExplanation
A rheostat is a variable resistor that is used to control the flow of electric current in a circuit. It is designed to handle high power levels, allowing for the regulation of a large amount of electrical energy. This makes it suitable for applications where high power is involved, such as in industrial machinery, lighting systems, or motor control.Rate this question:

The potentiometer is used
- A.
Low power
- B.
High power
- C.
Power not required circuit
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Low powerExplanation
The potentiometer is used for low power circuits because it is designed to handle small amounts of electrical power. It is commonly used to control voltage or current in electronic devices and can be adjusted to achieve the desired power output. Potentiometers are not suitable for high power circuits as they may not be able to handle the large amounts of electrical energy without getting damaged. Additionally, potentiometers are not necessary in circuits where power is not required, as they are primarily used for power control purposes. Therefore, the correct answer is low power.Rate this question:

E. All of the aboveExplanation
The application of a variable resistor can be seen in all of the mentioned scenarios. In a radio, a variable resistor can be used to control the volume by adjusting the resistance in the audio circuit. In dim lighting, a variable resistor can be used to adjust the brightness by varying the resistance in the lighting circuit. In a voltage variable power supply, a variable resistor can be used to adjust the output voltage by changing the resistance in the circuit. Therefore, all of the mentioned options are correct applications of a variable resistor.Rate this question:

- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. R2 and R3 parallelExplanation
In the given diagram, the resistors R2 and R3 are connected in parallel. This means that both resistors are connected to the same two points in the circuit. In a parallel connection, the voltage across each resistor is the same, while the total current flowing through the resistors is divided between them. Therefore, the correct answer is that R2 and R3 are parallel.Rate this question:

The correct answer is "All of the above". This means that all three statements regarding the arrangement of the resistors in the diagram are true. The resistors R1 and R2 are connected in parallel, and R3 is connected in series with the combination of R1 and R2. This implies that the current flowing through R1 and R2 is the same, while the total resistance of the circuit is the sum of R1, R2, and R3.Rate this question:
