2A

5A

10A
5. Which of the following is used to limit
the size of current in a circuit?
ammeter

voltmeter

resistor

switch
6. Which of the following component in
circuit allows us to vary the resistance?
Ammeter

Voltmeter

Rheostat

Switch
7. Which of the following is the symbol for a switch?
7. Which of the following has the smallest resistance?

A piece of short and thick copper wire

A piece of long and thick copper wire

A piece of long and thick nichrome wire

A piece of short and thin nichrome wire

8. Which of the following electrical devices
should be connected in series?
(i) ammeter Only (i) and (ii)
(ii) voltmeter
(iii) resistor Only (ii) and (iii)

Only (i) and (iii)

(i)、(ii) and (iii)

9. Which of the following about parallel circuit
is NOT correct?
There are 2 or more branches of electric
current in a parallel circuit.

Total current in the circuit equals to the

sum of current in all branches.
In a parallel circuit, if a bulb from one branch
burns out, bulbs from other branches will
not light up.

In a parallel circuit, the electric current is

larger in a branch with smaller resistance.
10. Which of the following is the hottest one

them?
A piece of short and thick copper wire

A piece of long and thick copper wire

A piece of long and thin nichrome wire

A piece of short and thin nichrome wire

11. Which of the following electrical appliance is
NOT making use of the heating effect of electric
current?
Rice cooker

electric heater

Heat plate

electric doorbell
Which of the following acts like a fuse to protect
the circuit and prevent overloading ?
rheostat

switch

Circuit breaker

ammeter
