Question 1:

Which of these will not work?

Diagram C will not work.

Reason: The circuit is incomplete. There is a break in the wire on the right side of the cell, meaning the electrical current cannot flow from the cell to the bulbs.

Question 2:

Which of these is a series circuit?

Diagram B is a series circuit.

Reason: The components (bulbs) are connected end-to-end in a single loop. There is only one path for the electricity to flow.

Question 3:

Which of these is a parallel circuit?

Diagram A is a parallel circuit.

Reason: The bulbs are connected on separate branches. The current splits and flows through multiple paths simultaneously.

Question 5:

The correct ammeter placement to measure the current specifically through bulb X is A.

Why A is correct:

Series Connection: To measure the current through a specific component, an ammeter must be connected in series with that component.

Branch Placement: In diagram A, the ammeter is placed in the same branch as bulb X. This means all the charge flowing through bulb X must also pass through the ammeter.

Why others are incorrect:

• B: The ammeter is in the main circuit. It measures the total current for both bulbs X and Y combined.
• C: The ammeter is connected in parallel with the power source. This creates a short circuit, which can damage the meter and will not measure the bulb's current.
• D: The ammeter is connected in parallel with bulb X. Current will take the path of least resistance through the ammeter, bypassing the bulb entirely.

Question 6:

Bulbs X and Y are connected in parallel to a single cell.
In parallel:

• Voltage across each bulb = battery voltage (V).

• Current from the battery = sum of currents through each bulb.

Step 2: Given data
Current through bulb X = 2 A.

If bulbs are identical, same voltage across both → same resistance → same current through each. So current through bulb Y also​ = 2 A.

Step 3: Total current

Step 4: Matching options
Bulb Y current = 2 A, total current = 4 A → that matches option C.

Question 7:

Step 1: Understanding the setup
Bulbs X, Y, and Z are identical and connected in series to a cell.

Step 2: Series circuit properties
In a series circuit:

• Current is the same through all components.

• There is only one path for current to flow.

Step 3: Effect of bulbs being identical
Even if the bulbs are identical, current is the same through each because series wiring forces equal current through all.
Whether they are identical or not doesn't change this — in series, current is identical everywhere.

Step 4: Conclusion
All three bulbs have the same current passing through them.

This matches option D

Question 8:

Step 1: Identify circuit type
From the previous question, we know the three identical bulbs X, Y, Z are connected in series to a 12 V cell.
In series:

• Total voltage = sum of the potential difference (voltage) across each cell.

• Current is same through all bulbs.

Step 2: Voltage division
Total voltage =12 V is divided equally among the three bulbs:

Step 3: Match to options
That matches option B: X = 4V, Y = 4V, Z = 4V.

Question 9:

Let's recall the standard rules for connecting ammeters and voltmeters in a circuit.

Step 1: Ammeter

• An ammeter measures current through a component.

• To measure current flowing through a component, it must be connected in series with that component.

• An ammeter has very low resistance so it doesn’t alter the circuit’s current much.

Step 2: Voltmeter

• A voltmeter measures the potential difference across a component.

• To measure voltage across a component, it must be connected in parallel with that component.

• A voltmeter has very high resistance so it draws negligible current from the circuit.

Step 3: Match to options

• Ammeter = series

• Voltmeter = parallel

That’s option B.

Question 10:

Bulb A will be the brightest.

Why Bulb A?

Brightness in identical bulbs is determined by the current flowing through them.

Series vs. Parallel: The circuit consists of three parallel branches connected in series with Bulb A.

Total Current: All the current leaving the battery must pass through Bulb A before it splits into the three lower branches (containing bulbs B, C, and D).

The Split:The top branch has only one bulb (B).The middle branch has three bulbs (C and two others).The bottom branch has two bulbs (D and another).

Conclusion: Since Bulb A carries the total circuit current while the others only carry a fraction of it, Bulb A receives the most power and shines the brightest.
