Order the steps for resistors in series
Read exercise and reference answers
- Steps
- List all the resistor values in the series chain
- Add them: R_eq = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + …
- Note that current is the same through each resistor
- Use V = IR_eq for total voltage across the chain
- Instructions
- Tap the steps in order to find the total resistance of a series chain.
Oersted's 1820 experiment showed that an electric current
- Produces a magnetic field around the wire
- Produces a sound wave around the wire
- Produces a chemical reaction in the wire
- Produces a gravity wave around the wire
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. Produces a magnetic field around the wire
1. Section 10.1 describes Oersted's experiment.
2. A current-carrying wire moves a nearby compass needle.
3. This proves a magnetic field exists around the wire.
4. So option A is correct.
