  1. Six identical 2-volt bulbs are connected in series. The supply voltage to cause the bulbs to light normally is:
    1. 12 V
    2. 1.2 V
    3. 6 V
    4. 2 V

  2. Five 10 ohm resistors connected in series give a total resistance of:
    1. 1 ohm
    2. 5 ohms
    3. 10 ohms
    4. 50 ohms

  3. A 5 ohm and a 10 ohm resistor are wired in series and connected to a 15 volt power supply. The current flowing from the power supply is:
    1. 0.5 ampere
    2. 1 ampere
    3. 2 ampere
    4. 15 ampere

  4. When two 1000 ohm 5 watt resistors are connected in parallel, they can dissipate a maximum total power of:
    1. 40 watt
    2. 20 watt
    3. 10 watt
    4. 5 watt

  5. A resistor of 10 kilohm carries a current of 20 mA. The power dissipated in the resistor is:
    1. 2 watt
    2. 4 watt
    3. 20 watt
    4. 40 watt

  6. The 'rms value' of a sine-wave signal is:
    1. half the peak voltage
    2. 1.414 times the peak voltage
    3. the peak-to-peak voltage
    4. 0.707 times the peak voltage

  7. Increasing the number of turns on an inductor will make its inductance:
    1. decrease
    2. increase
    3. remain unchanged
    4. become resistive
