Question
- A. Check the named quantity, component or circuit relationship before choosing the response.
- B. Write every electricity equation even when the question asks for a description.
- C. Use the same rule for series and parallel circuits without checking the arrangement.
- D. Describe energy transfer when the question asks for charge or current only.
Answer
The correct answer is: Check the named quantity, component or circuit relationship before choosing the response.
Explanation
Check the named quantity, component or circuit relationship before choosing the response. This avoids confusing potential difference, current and resistance while staying aligned to recognise that calculating total resistance for two parallel resistors is not required.
