Review: Electric Current Name ___________________
A B

R1 = 2 R3 = 6
R4
10
60v R2
12
R5
20
R6 = 4

D C
1. R3, R4, and R5 are connected in ____________ with each other and in
___________ with R2.
2. Calculate the resistance from:
B to C (outside branch) __________ B to C (both branches) __________
B to C (inside branch) ___________
The resistance from A to D = ___________ (This is the ________ R of the
circuit.)

3. From RT and VT, calculate total current in the circuit: IT = ___________


On the diagram show where you would put an ammeter to measure total current.
Which two resistors have current readings equal to IT? _______ and ________
On the diagram, label these currents.

4. Use Ohm’ s Law to calculate: V1 = _________ and V6 = ___________


Because the charge pump furnishes a VT = ____________, and R1 and R6 use up
______v together, the voltage drop from point B to C = __________.
V2 = ___________ and the V of the outside branch = __________, since the two
branches are connected in _______________, and voltage (adds up, is the same)
in both branches. Since R3, R4, and R5 are connected in ____________, their
voltage drops must add up to _______v.

5. From V2 and R2, calculate: I2 = __________ Then how much current runs
through the outside branch? __________ How do you know? ______________
Since all the resistors in this branch are in series, the current running through
them (adds up, stays the same). Label each with their current.

6. Calculate: V3 = __________ V4 = __________ V5 = __________


V3 + V4 + V5 = _____________ How does this compare to V2? _____________
