Slide1

Electric currents and circuitsSlide2

Is it possible to light a bulb

with a battery using only one wire?

YesNoI have no idea

NEXUS/Physics Clicker QuestionsSlide3

Which of the arrangements shown

will light the bulb?

Only AOnly B

Only C

Only D

Only EOnly FA & CB & FD & E

NEXUS/Physics Clicker QuestionsSlide4

In the two cases shown here a battery is connected

to a box containing some identical bulbs. The

battery maintains a constant potential difference

V

0. across its terminals. Which bulbs will be brighter?

A in #1

B in #1

A and B in #1 (equal)

A in #2B in #2A and B in #2 (equal)All 4 equalOther

NEXUS/Physics Clicker QuestionsSlide5

Charge flows through a light bulb.

Suppose a

wire is connected across the bulb as shown. When the wire is connected, all the charge continues to flow through the

bulb

.

half the charge flows through the wire, the other half continues through the bulb.all the charge flows through the wire.none of the aboveSlide6

This circuit has two identical light bulbs burning with equal brightness and a single 12 V battery. When the switch is closed,

the

brightness of bulb A

increases

decreases

decreases to 0remains the same

NEXUS/Physics Clicker QuestionsSlide12

Use

Kirchhoff's principles

to find: the current through each of the bulbs and

the current

through

each of the batteries.#1 = 6V#2 = 3VA = B = C = 3ΩNEXUS/Physics Clicker QuestionsSlide13

What

can you say about the voltage

at the points A, B, and C? The

magnitudes of the voltages at A and B add up to the magnitude of the voltage at C.

The

sum of the magnitudes of the voltages at two of the points adds up to the magnitude of the voltage at the third (but we can’t say which).The magnitude of the voltages at all three points are equal.There is not enough information to draw any of the above conclusions.Something else. Slide14

What can you say about the currents

at

the points A, B, and C? The magnitudes of the currents flowing through A and B add up to the magnitude of the current flowing through C.

The

sum of the magnitudes of the

currents at B and C add up to the magnitude of the current through A.The sum of the magnitudes of the currents at A and C add up to the magnitude of the current through B.The magnitude of the currents flowing through all three points are equal.There is not enough information

to draw any of the above conclusions.Something else Slide15

In what direction is the current

at

point C flowing? To the left.To the right.

It

is zero.

There is not enough information to draw any of the above conclusions.Something else. Slide16

What can you say about the voltage at the point C given that

we

take the voltage at the bottom of the battery to be 0?(V0 = 9 V; R = 3 Ω )

It

is zero.

It 9 Volts.It is 3 Volts.It is 4.5 Volts.There is not enough information to draw any of the above conclusions.Something else.
