Electricity Test – Circuits and Ohm’s Law
1) Below is a typical electric circuit. Label the parts of the circuit.

2) Below are four circuits. Label each one as series or parallel or both.
a)
b)
c)
d)
3) Below is a circuit with four bulbs in it.
a) Place four switches in the circuit so each switch only controls one light bulb. Label each
switch with the letter of the bulb it controls.
b) Insert a switch that will turn off only three bulbs. Label it E
c) Insert a switch that will turn off all the bulbs. Label it F
4) Draw a parallel circuit with three light bulbs in series along with a loudspeaker. Include a
switch.
5) Draw a typical circuit you would use to test the resistance of a resistor. Make sure you
include a voltmeter and an ammeter.
6) If the voltage source (battery) in a circuit was 10 V and a 6 V battery was added in series,
what would the voltage of the circuit be?
7) Christmas tree lights can be bought in either series or parallel circuits. Choose which
type would be the better purchase. Explain why you think you chose the better one.
8) The lights in your home should be wired in parallel.
a) Why is that?
b) Explain what would happen if the light sockets were in series instead of in parallel.
9) Below is a graph comparing two resistors, A and B.

10) A voltmeter is always hooked up in ______________ but an ammeter is always hooked up
in ________________.
11) Fill in the triangle for Ohm’s law:
12) A circuit has a resistor in it that has a resistance of 10  and the ammeter hooked up in
the circuit shows 2.5 amps. What is the voltage in the circuit? Show your work!
13) A student hooks up a voltmeter and an ammeter in a circuit to find the resistance of a
light bulb. The ammeter read 0.2 amps and the voltmeter reads 4.5 volts. What is the
resistance of the light bulb?
14) Three 1.5 volt batteries are connected in series in a circuit with a loudspeaker that has an
8  resistance. What will an ammeter read if it is also connected into the circuit?
15) A circuit was set up to find out the resistance of a motor in an electric car.
