Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.83 Current, Voltage, and Resistance skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which model best explains why a bulb lights in a simple battery circuit?

AThe bulb lights because current is created inside the glass and never returns to the battery.

BA closed path lets charge flow; the battery provides voltage; the filament resistance transfers energy to light and heat.

CThe battery removes energy from charges before they reach the bulb.

DThe bulb lights only because wires have infinite resistance.

Solution & Explanation:A bulb lights when a complete circuit lets charge flow through its filament. The battery provides energy per charge, and the filament resistance transfers electrical energy to light and thermal energy.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A lamp is connected to a battery using high-resistance wires. The wires are replaced with lower-resistance wires while the battery and lamp stay the same. What is the most likely effect?

AThe current decreases because lower resistance blocks charge.

BThe current increases because total resistance decreases.

CThe voltage turns into current and disappears.

DThe lamp cannot light if wires conduct well.

Solution & Explanation:Lower-resistance wires reduce total circuit resistance. With the same battery, lower resistance allows more current.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A student tries to measure current by connecting an ammeter directly across a battery in parallel. Why is this a poor setup?

AAn ammeter has very low resistance and should be placed in series with the circuit path.

BAn ammeter must replace the battery in every circuit.

CAn ammeter only measures voltage across open switches.

DAmmeter placement never affects a circuit.

Solution & Explanation:An ammeter is designed to measure current in series. Placing it directly across a battery can create a very low-resistance path that changes the circuit and can be unsafe.
