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 state that the total potential difference of the power supply is shared between components in series.
Common mistake
Series circuits common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: State that the total potential difference of the power supply is shared between components in series..
Answer by clearly explaining how to state that the total potential difference of the power supply is shared between components in series..
