Q10 Question 10 of 20

What happens when you connect a battery backward to an LED?

The LED will glow brighter The LED will not light up The battery will explode The LED will turn red

Q11 Question 11 of 20

What is a short circuit?

A circuit that stops working A path with very low resistance that can cause too much current to flow A circuit with low voltage A small circuit used for testing

Q12 Question 12 of 20

What device measures electric current?

Voltmeter Ammeter Ohmmeter Resistor

Q13 Question 13 of 20

What is the main difference between series and parallel circuits?

Series circuits are faster In series, components share current; in parallel, they share voltage Parallel circuits use no wires Series circuits have higher voltage always

Q14 Question 14 of 20

Which law relates voltage, current, and resistance?

Newton’s Law Ohm’s Law Coulomb’s Law Faraday’s Law

Q15 Question 15 of 20

What happens to current if resistance increases in a circuit?

The current increases The current decreases The voltage drops to zero Nothing changes

Q16 Question 16 of 20

What is an insulator?

A material that stores energy A material that does not allow electric current to flow easily A conductor A switch

Q17 Question 17 of 20

Which component in a simple LED circuit prevents the LED from burning out?

Switch Resistor Battery Wire

Q18 Question 18 of 20

What happens when a circuit is 'open'?

The current flows faster The current stops flowing The voltage doubles The battery charges itself

Q19 Question 19 of 20

What type of current do batteries provide?

Alternating Current (AC) Direct Current (DC) Static Current Neutral Current

Q20 Question 20 of 20

Why are LEDs preferred in modern electronics?

They generate heat easily They use less energy and last longer They require high voltage They work only with AC power
