Homework Physics 4

 

Directions: Answer the questions below using complete sentences.

 

1) Draw a parallel circuit in the space below. Draw an arrow to show which way the current is traveling.

 

 

 

 

2) Draw a series circuit in the space below. Draw an arrow to show which way the current is traveling.

 

 

 

 

 

3) Draw a schematic diagram of a circuit that has these items: 1 motor, wire, 2 light bulbs, a battery, and a switch.

 

 

 

 

4) What is voltage?

 

 

 

 

5) A current is being generated in a circuit you are building. However, the current of electricity is too strong because it keeps burning out your light bulb in the circuit. How can you slow down the flow of the current so your light bulb won’t burn out? What is the symbol for this tool in a schematic diagram?

 

 

 

 

6) How can you make a current stronger/amplify in a circuit?

 

 

 

 

 

7) What type of circuit is drawn at the right? How can you tell?

 

 

 

 

 

 

8) EXTRA CREDIT: Find a schematic diagram online of commonly used electrical devices. Print the diagram out and staple it to this homework.
