3. Current flows in a circuit when ________.

(a) a switch is opened
(b) a switch is closed
(c) the switch is either open or closed
(d) there is no voltage

Answer
Answer : (b)
Explanation
Explanation :

When switch is opened, circuit is open and current does not flow.
When switch is closed, circuit is closed and current flows in the closed circuit.

4. The minimum resistance value for a blue, gray, red, silver resistor is ________.

(a) 612 Ω
(b) 6,120 Ω
(c) 6,800 Ω
(d) 6,460 Ω

Answer
Answer : (b)
Explanation
Explanation :

Because of 10% tolerance (last color silver), this resistance may vary 10% of 6800 Ω.
Minimum resistance value = 6800 – 680 = 6120 Ω,
Maximum resistance value = 6800 + 680 = 7480 Ω.

5. The maximum resistance value for a brown, red, yellow, gold resistor is ________.

(a) 126,000 Ω
(b) 126,600 Ω
(c) 114,000 Ω
(d) 132,000 Ω

Answer
Answer : (a)
Explanation
Explanation :

Because of 5% tolerance (last color gold), this resistance may vary 5% of 1,20,000 Ω.
Minimum resistance value = 1,20,000 – 6,000 = 1,14,000 Ω,
Maximum resistance value = 1,20,000 + 6,000 = 1,26,000 Ω.
