  1. One way to operate a 3 volt bulb from a 9 volt supply is to connect it in:
    1. series with the supply
    2. parallel with the supply
    3. series with a resistor
    4. parallel with a resistor

  2. The total resistance of four 68 ohm resistors wired in parallel is:
    1. 12 ohm
    2. 17 ohm
    3. 34 ohm
    4. 272 ohm

  3. Three 500 ohm resistors are wired in series. Short-circuiting the centre resistor will change the value of the network from:
    1. 1500 ohm to 1000 ohm
    2. 500 ohm to 1000 ohm
    3. 1000 ohm to 500 ohm
    4. 1000 ohm to 1500 ohm

  4. A 20 ohm resistor carries a current of 0.25 ampere. The power dissipated is:
    1. 1.25 watt
    2. 5 watt
    3. 2.50 watt
    4. 10 watt

  5. The power dissipation of a resistor carrying a current of 10 mA with 10 volt across it is:
    1. 0.01 watt
    2. 0.1 watt
    3. 1 watt
    4. 10 watt

  6. The current in an AC circuit completes a cycle in 0.1 second. So the frequency is:
    1. 1 Hz
    2. 10 Hz
    3. 100 Hz
    4. 1000 Hz

  7. Filter capacitors in power supplies are sometimes connected in series to:
    1. withstand a greater voltage than a single capacitor can withstand
    2. increase the total capacity
    3. reduce the ripple voltage further
    4. resonate the filter circuit
