Electric Circuits Answer Key

The document is an electric circuits answer key that provides answers to 10 multiple choice questions about basic electric circuit concepts. Some key points covered are: if resistance increases in a series circuit, current will decrease; current is measured in amperes; power is expressed in watts; parallel circuits allow charges multiple pathways to flow compared to the single pathway in series circuits.
